Episode 6 (1948-1949)

While the war still rages, the Palestinians realize that this is what is for them a Nakba - a disaster. Their position grows even worse in the second phase of the war in which Israel expands its occupation beyond the borders of the partition plan. At the end of the war Israel prevents their return and nationalizes the property and land they left behind. The Arab minority which remains within Israeli territory is granted citizenship, but under a military regime. The Palestinians don't take part in negotiations over the ceasefire lines which are marked on the map by a green line. Faced with no other solution, UNRWA comes to the aid of the refugees.
