Since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Palestinians have experienced several waves of exile and lived in different host countries around the world. Jordan, officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (الأردنّ al-Urdunn) is an Arab country in Southwest Asia spanning the southern Syria ( سوريّة or) officially the Syrian Arab Republic (Arabic ar الجمهورية العربية السورية Lebanon (ˈlɛbənɒn Arabic: ar لبنان Lubnān) officially the Republic of Lebanon or Lebanese Republic (ar الجمهورية اللبنانية Chile, officially the Republic of Chile ( Spanish:) is a country in South America occupying a long and narrow Coastal strip wedged between the Among the Chileans of Arab origin Palestinians make up the largest group The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, KSA ( المملكة العربية السعودية, al-Mamlaka al-ʻArabiyya as-Suʻūdiyya) or Suudi The Americas are the lands of the Western hemisphere or New World, consisting of the Continents of North America and South America This article is about the country of Egypt For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Egypt topics.

Background Suez Crisis aftermath The Suez Crisis of 1956 represented a military defeat but a political victory for Egypt Together, these refugees make up the majority of the Palestinian diaspora. [7] Besides those displaced by war, others have emigrated overseas for various reasons such as work opportunity, education,[8][9] religious persecution[10] and persecution from Israeli authorities. In the decade following the 1967 war, for example, an average of 21,000 Palestinians per year were forced out of Israeli-controlled areas. [11] The pattern of Palestinian flight continued during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. [11] In 2002, for example, 13 militants were deported by Israeli authorities following the Siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The Siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem lasted from April 2 to May 10 2002 in Bethlehem in the West Bank.

The Palestine Mandate, was a set of protocols or articles that formed a multilateral legal and administrative agreement According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the number of Palestinians worldwide at the end of 2003 was 9.

Robin Cohen in his book Global Diasporas (1997), explains that for Palestinians, and others like Armenians, Jews, and some African populations, the term 'Diaspora' has "acquired a more sinister and brutal meaning", signifying "a collective trauma, a banishment, where one dreamed of home but lived in exile. The 1948 Palestinian exodus (الهجرة الفلسطينية al-Hijra al-Filasteeniya) referred to by Palestinians as al Naqba (النكبة The Armenians (Հայեր Hayer) are a Nation and Ethnic group originating in the Caucasus and in the Armenian Highlands A large PLEASE TAKE NOTE************ "[1]

The issue of the Palestinian right of return has been of central importance to Palestinians and more broadly the Arab World since 1948. The Palestinian right of return ( Arabic: حق العودة Ḥaqq al-ʿawda; Hebrew: זכות השיבה zkhut hashivah) is a political [7] It is the dream of many in the Palestinian Diaspora, and is present most strongly in Palestinian refugee camps. [13] In the largest such camp in Lebanon, Ain Hilweh, neighborhoods are named for the Galilee towns and villages from which the original refugees came, such as al-Zeeb, Safsaf and Hittin. Lebanon (ˈlɛbənɒn Arabic: ar لبنان Lubnān) officially the Republic of Lebanon or Lebanese Republic (ar الجمهورية اللبنانية Ain al-Hilweh (variously Ayn al-Hilweh Ein al-Hilweh etc the literal meaning is "sweet spring " (عين الحلوة is the largest Palestinian "Galil" redirects here For the weapon see IMI Galil.

[13] Even though 97% of the camp's inhabitants have never seen the towns and villages their parents and grandparents left behind, most insist that the right of return is an inalienable right and one that they will never renounce. The term right of return refers to the principle in International law that members of an Ethnic or National group have a right to Immigration [13]
