Impending? I think the issue is there has been a humanitarian crisis there for decades and no one has done jack shit.
Au contraire! Isreal has been working hard to end the humanitarian crisis by the simplist possible method: getting rid of all the people.
Not all the people, just the “wrong” people. And let’s not forget Palestinians have been trying to “produce” more people as quickly as possible, to the point they’re “about to win” the demographic competition, against even the orthodox jews who are at the same time trying to reach 25% of Israel’s population in order to become the “spiritual leaders” for others to fight their wars.

In the immediate aftermath of the Nakba, they didn’t want to make the refugees status permanent because they expected the refugees to someday be able to return to their land.

Making the refugees position permanent would significantly upset that balance by shifting the population in favor of the Sunnis.

No no, we don’t talk about those.

Mansour said a ministerial delegation from Arab nations and the 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be in Washington on Thursday to meet U.S. officials and press for an immediate cease-fire.
