Israel and the Palestinian Refugee Issue: The Formulation of Policy, 1948-1956 (Hardback)

This book recounts the narrative of how Israeli policy towards the Palestinian refugee problem was formulated from the time it first developed at the beginning of 1948, following the first Arab-Israeli war ("Israel's War of Independence"), until the mid-1950s, when that policy's basic principles were shaped in their final format and concluded. This volume outlines and analyzes the various issues, which together created the mosaic of the "Palestinian refugee problem", and with which Israel has had to contend since then, i.e., repatriation, resettlement, compensation for abandoned property and blocked bank accounts, the internally displaced refugees and family reunification.
