Palestinians across the Middle East on Wednesday are marking the anniversary of their mass expulsion from what is now Israel with protests and other events across the region.

Palestinians refer to it as the “Nakba,” Arabic for “catastrophe.” Some 700,000 Palestinians — a majority of the prewar population — fled or were driven from their homes before and during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war that followed Israel’s establishment.

As the US warns of a potential power vacuum in Gaza, James O'Brien questions Benjamin Netanyahu's strategy amid escalating conflict between Hamas and the IDF.

Thousands of Israelis joined protests over the weekend calling for a deal to bring home hostages still held in Gaza by Hamas and the resignation of Netanyahu.

Democracy Now speaks with senior Palestinian diplomat Husam Zomlot, ambassador to the UK.

“The last seven months have unmasked, beyond doubt, many things, including the hypocrisy, selectivity, double standards of certain international actors, and I believe the U.S. admin. is right at the top of that list​,” he said.

“Israel does have a plan, and Israel is executing the plan with almost perfection. And the plan is genocide.”

Israeli UN envy Gilad Erdan responded furiously, saying that vote to advance the "establishment of Palestinian terror state, which will be led by Hitler of our times, with sick and twisted irony, the very body that established to prevent evil is now welcoming a terror state into its ranks.”

The Israeli envoy Erdan called the resolution a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and said that it subverted the US veto in the Security Council last month.

Shireen Abu Akleh, the highly respected Al Jazeera correspondent, was shot dead by an Israeli soldier two years ago.

To this day, her niece, Lina Abu Akleh says she and her family have been unable to hold anyone accountable, and in the process they’ve witnessed the systematic killing of more journalists by the Israeli military in Gaza.

“The fact that there was no justice for Shireen has paved the way for the systematic targeting of journalists.”

Democracy Now! explored the parallels this week with South African-born novelist and playwright Gillian Slovo, whose parents were legendary anti-apartheid activists Joe Slovo and Ruth First.

"I have been to the West Bank, and I had a childhood in South Africa. I knew what apartheid looked like," Slovo says. "When I went to the West Bank, what I saw was apartheid in action."
