Every time Yinon Levi returns to Umm al-Khair, where videos and witness testimonies implicate him in the murder of Awdah Hathaleen, anger stirs within the community. Seeking to prevent further arrests or violence, village leaders urge people to hide in their homes. But Levi's appearance leaves villagers, who have long faced home demolitions by Israeli authorities and attacks from Israeli settlers that have intensified since the war in Gaza started, afraid and seething.

Tens of thousands have rallied worldwide in solidarity with Palestinians, marking 77 years of dispossession, amid Israel's ongoing war on Gaza.

As a child, I would ask: What is a refugee? I attended a school run by UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, and my documents always had to include proof that I was a refugee.

As soon as he came to power, United States President Donald Trump echoed calls for the Palestinians' massive displacement outside their homeland. This alarming strategy hints at a larger, more sinister aspiration for the region, raising concerns over the long-term impacts on Palestinian identity and rights.
