UN warns: Another Nakba may unfold in Palestinian territories

A UN ad hoc committee warns that a "new Nakba" may be unfolding in the Palestinian territories, referencing the mass displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 war. The committee, investigating Israeli practices affecting Palestinian human rights, stated Israel continues to inflict suffering while rapidly seizing land for colonial ambitions. The report cited land grabs, displacement, and ethnic cleansing as potential indicators. The Nakba, meaning "catastrophe," refers to the displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The committee was established by the UN General Assembly in December 1968.
