    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 14th May, 1948, the State of Israel was--- Holocaust War under Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion who won the immediate recognition from the United States and Soviet Union while at the same time sparking the first Arab-Israeli War that ended in 1949 with Israel’s victory. It is estimated that by then, about 700 Palestinians and 600 villages were evicted, displaced and sought refuge in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank and Gaza, often without citizenship being granted. The displacement of the Palestinian people on the date is still observed every year on a day called Nakba Day which was observed on Saturday last week; named for the Arab word catastrophe and on which Palestinians give speeches and hold rallies and wave the keys to the homes they were forced to leave behind and still hope to return to it. It is said that 79 per cent of their land was taken away from them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, after the signing of the Camp David accords in 1979, there were improved relations between Israel and its neighbours such as Syria and Egypt. However, the problem of Palestinians self-domination and self-governance remained unsettled. In 1987, Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza strip started uprising against the Israel Government in what came to be known as the first Intifada."
