A majority of EU member states sent representatives to the UN’s first Nakba Day commemoration event despite Israeli efforts at discouraging them from attending.
Several of these states informed Israel in advance of their plans to attend, however most sent lower-level diplomats rather than their ambassadors. Countries that attended the event include France, Spain, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, and Malta. Both the U.S. and the U.K. governments said in advance that they wouldn’t be sending any representatives to the event.
Nakba is the Arabic word for disaster, which Palestinians use to refer to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of persons during Israel’s War of Independence in 1948.
