At 85, Abdel Mahdi al-Wuheidi survived the 1948 Nakba but now witnesses the Gaza war destroying everything again. His story recounts two exiles, the second even more brutal than the first. In the rubble of Jabalia, he insists he will never leave his homeland again.
Iran commemorated Nakba Day on Sunday, reiterating its stance that the future of Palestine and Jerusalem (Al-Quds) must be determined by the indigenous people and condemning Israeli actions.

As Palestinians mark 78 years since their mass displacement, experts say America's 'political amnesia' blocks a fair Middle East policy.
