Middle East Eye published an opinion piece by Bahzad al Akhras, a Gazan academic, reflecting on whether displaced Palestinians can ever return to their homes. The piece emerged from a routine online meeting with supervisors, during which one described the joy of visiting her home country, prompting al Akhras to contemplate his own displacement.
The essay frames the question of return as central to Palestinian displacement following Israel's military operations in Gaza. Al Akhras examines what homecoming might mean for those separated from their communities and property during the conflict.
