US EditionWorld could be witnessing ‘another Nakba’ in Palestine, UN committee warns
- A UN committee warned on Friday that Israel is inflicting unimaginable suffering on Palestinians while rapidly confiscating land, suggesting another Nakba is underway.
- The warning follows Israel's recent military actions, including expelling 40,000 people from Jinen refugee camp and 13,000 from Nur Shams, alongside home demolitions and food blockades.

- The committee accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and said the government prioritizes colonial expansion by replacing Palestinian communities with Jewish settlers, signaling ongoing systematic oppression.
