Palestinians worldwide are marking the 77th anniversary of the Nakba (Arabic for 'catastrophe'), commemorating the displacement of hundreds of thousands from their homes during Israel's creation in 1948. With tensions escalating, CGTN correspondents Rami (Gaza Strip) and Jonathan (Tel Aviv) provide real-time updates from polarized ground zero.
🔴 'Entire neighborhoods here in Gaza feel like ghost towns—generations still clinging to keys from homes their grandparents lost,' reports Rami, referencing symbolic keys held by many Palestinian families.
🔴 From Tel Aviv, Jonathan notes: 'Air raid sirens interrupted Memorial Day events this week. The cycle of retaliation is feeding public anxiety on both sides.'
📅 Earlier this week, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for 'an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and meaningful steps toward a two-state solution.' Meanwhile, pro-Palestine solidarity protests have erupted globally, from Jakarta to Berlin.
🕊️ While social media buzzes with #Nakba77 posts blending historical archives and modern outcry, analysts warn that without dialogue, the 'dawn of peace' remains distant. How can younger generations reshape this narrative? Share your thoughts below. 👇
