"Palestinians have been marking the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, or "catastrophe". The term refers to the displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 war surrounding the creation of Israel. Palestinian statistics say around 80% of Palestinians living in what became Israel were displaced. Palestinians have marked the Nakba anniversary as ceasefire conditions in the Gaza war deepen parallels with past displacement."
"Israel's military on Friday ordered residents of five villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate. Israel warned residents to move at least 1,000 meters away from the targeted areas near the city of Tyre. The evacuation order adds to fears of renewed displacement as the Gaza war continues and ceasefire conditions deepen parallels with earlier forced movements."
"China has stressed the need to restore stability in the Gulf and has renewed calls for a lasting ceasefire in the Iran conflict, after talks between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said a comprehensive and permanent truce was essential and urged the reopening of key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz. "This conflict, which should never have happened, has no reason to continue.""
