EventLarge rallies marking the 75th anniversary of Al-Nakba (Catastrophe) Day are likely throughout the Middle East and North Africa May 15. Al-Nakba Day commemorates the expulsion of thousands of Palestinians during the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. These rallies - designed to show solidarity with Palestinians - will likely have an anti-Western and anti-Israeli tone. Smaller rallies are likely in other major population centers throughout the region. Exercise caution around major public squares, sites associated with Palestinian nationalism, and areas with large numbers of Palestinian refugees.
