Elias Khoury, a monumental figure in Arab literature and a passionate supporter of the Palestinian cause, died at 76 after a prolonged illness, according to reports.
Khoury's works explored themes of collective memory, war, and exile, with notable books translated into several languages. His influential work 'Gate of the Sun' narrates the 1948 Palestinian Nakba.
'The Catastrophe began in 1948 and it is still going on,' Khoury reflected, emphasizing Israel's ongoing illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian territories.
Born in Beirut, Khoury was devoted to Palestinian advocacy and contributed to various literary and journalistic platforms, becoming a vital voice for the cause.
