Palestinian Nakba Commemoration Amid Conflict Tensions
Palestinians marked the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (1948 displacement) on May 15, with commemorations across the Middle East, UK, and diaspora communities. Simultaneously, Israeli nationalist marches in Jerusalem drew counter-protests; security forces deployed heavily in London to manage competing demonstrations. The commemoration highlighted ongoing Palestinian displacement and loss amid the Gaza war.
