What is the name of a region in middle east whose people have been without homeland since formation Israel after World War 2?
The Palestinians are an ethnic group of people indigenous to the Levant, whose land was incorporated into the State of Israel in 1948, and subsequently occupied by Israel in 1967. Since the 19th century, the growth of the nationalist movement among the Palestinian people has led to the rise of many organisations committed to the goal of establishing an independent state of Palestine in part or all of the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, although they have historically failed to achieve international consensus on the exact boundaries of such a state.
