During the meeting, head of the association’s board of directors Muhammad Kayal presented a detailed explanation regarding the Palestinian Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel) during the years 1947-1948, which caused two-thirds of the Palestinian people to become refugees and expellees, and emphasized that ‘The Nakba continues to this day.’ …

He also emphasized ‘the importance and necessity of implementing the refugees and expellees’ right of return to the villages and cities from which they were expelled in the years of the Nakba, and the return of their property according to the UN resolutions, and specifically [UN] Resolution 194 (see note below –Ed.), and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.’”
