Escalating Conflict in Gaza Sparks Fears of a New Palestinian Exodus
Fears of another Palestinian exodus are spreading across the Middle East as Israel intensifies its aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The region, home to over 5.9 million Palestinian refugees, is concerned about the potential displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to neighboring countries. While Israel denies any intention to evict Gazans, inflammatory rhetoric from some members of Israel's right-wing government has heightened Arab fears. Protests in solidarity with the Palestinians have erupted across the Arab world and in several European capitals and US cities, calling for an end to Israel's bombardment and the 17-year blockade of Gaza.
