DAMASCUS, Syria — Khadija al-Ali was simply 3 years previous when her household fled their house within the 1948 Arab-Israeli warfare and got here to this Palestinian refugee camp in Syria.

“The Arab armies were all saying, ‘We are coming to fight for you. Leave for eight days, and we will liberate the land,'” she stated. “People left carrying their house keys and locking their doors. So people left thinking they would return in eight days.”

These eight days have was 77 years within the congested Jaramana Refugee Camp on the sting of Damascus.

The unique tented encampment has lengthy since was a everlasting neighborhood of cinderblock homes, with kids working via the slim, muddy streets beneath a tangle {of electrical} wires overhead.

Most residents have spent their complete lives within the camp.

Al-Ali, 80, is without doubt one of the few who wasn’t born right here. But, there’s nonetheless no prospect of returning to her previous house — or a Palestinian state.

Al-Ali says this painful expertise is a cautionary story for Palestinians in Gaza.

“My advice to the people of Gaza is to hold on. Do not leave, even if it means they all become martyrs,” she stated.

Trump says the U.S. ought to management Gaza

President Trump has known as for a U.S. takeover of Gaza, and the relocation of the greater than 2 million Palestinians who’ve simply endured a devastating warfare with Israel that is left the territory in ruins.

Trump’s obscure proposal overturned a long time of U.S. coverage on Gaza, which has lengthy seen the territory as a part of a future Palestinian state that will additionally embody the West Financial institution and a capital in East Jerusalem.

Many regional consultants say the president’s plan is totally unrealistic.

“That’s pie in the sky. It’s not going to happen. And there are many reasons why it’s not going to happen. But suffice it to say, it’s not going to happen,” stated Hussein Ibish with the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington.

Trump has provided no particulars on primary questions like who would take away the rubble, who would rebuild the territory and who would offer safety. In the meantime, the Palestinians in Gaza say they will not depart. And Arab international locations are adamant they will not take Palestinians compelled from their houses.

The warfare that created the unique disaster

That 1948 Mideast Struggle erupted at Israel’s founding and pitted Israel towards a number of Arab states. The warfare scattered some 750,000 Palestinian refugees all through the Center East.

In December 1948, whereas the warfare was nonetheless ongoing, the United Nations handed Decision 194 which says refugees ought to have the ability to return to their houses at, quote, “the earliest practicable date.”

However that is by no means occurred, and now almost 6 million Palestinians — the unique refugees and their descendants — are registered with UNRWA, the U.N. company dedicated to Palestinian refugees. Many stay in camps like this one in Syria, in addition to others in Lebanon, Jordan, the West Financial institution and Gaza. Many really feel a deep sense of betrayal.

“I have the right to return. This is both an individual and collective right. Me, my children, my grandfather and my grandmother — all of us have the right to return,” stated Fadi Deeb, a 52-year-old resident of the Jaramana Camp.

Israel opposes return of refugees

Israel has all the time rejected a mass return of Palestinian refugees, saying the Jewish state could be swamped demographically. Israel has been at odds with UNRWA for many years, saying it perpetuates a cycle of dependency as refugee standing is handed on from one technology to the following.

A new Israeli regulation that lately took impact bars UNRWA from working in Israel. The company says that may create a bunch of challenges, however UNRWA remains to be functioning in Gaza, the West Financial institution and in Arab international locations.

There isn’t any sensible prospect that Palestinians within the camps will have the ability to return to previous household houses now inside Israel’s internationally acknowledged borders.

Maybe their best-case situation could be to depart the camps and transfer to a future Palestinian state. But right this moment, a Palestinian state appears a distant dream.

Nonetheless, Deeb and different refugees maintain out hope.

“We are steadfast. We are like olive trees,” he stated.

Then he quotes the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, who wrote, “My homeland is not a suitcase, and I am not a traveler. I am the lover, and the land is the beloved.”

In making his proposal, Trump stated the huge destruction within the Gaza warfare made the territory unlivable, and Palestinians would have a greater life elsewhere.

However Khadija al-Ali says Trump is not performing within the curiosity of Palestinian refugees.

“If you want to approach this from a humanitarian perspective, return them to their original villages,” she stated. “Go and rebuild and return them if you truly care about humanity. But don’t deceive people with false claims.”
