Last Friday, Arab leaders, including representatives from Gulf states, Egypt, and Jordan, convened in Riyadh to address the situation.


Palestinians fear a repeat of the 1948 Nakba, when hundreds of thousands were expelled or forced to flee their homeland following the establishment of the state of Israel.
