Jenin represents the ‘right of return’, making it an Israeli target : Analysis
After a deadly and destructive 10-day military incursion, Israeli forces have pulled out of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, and residents have buried their dead. Ibrahim Fraihat, an associate professor on conflict resolution at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said the camp was created after the 1948 expulsion of Palestinians from what is now Israel and it remains a powerful symbol of the right of return. “Under international law, they have the right to return to their homes, so it is very important for them [the Israelis] to target these refugee camps,” Fraihat told Al Jazeera. “The Israeli government wants to send a message that no one is immune, that all Palestinians are a target. It goes to the larger vision of depopulating these areas and to be in control of the West Bank.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
