Anniversary of birth of State of Palestine

Israel and Palestine are in dispute for a long time. 

Just one ‘recent’ date in the conflict: on this day, November 16 1988 an independent State of Palestine is proclaimed by the Palestinian National Council. 

On Mary 15, 1948 the State of Israel was established, marking the end of British rule in Palestine. This triggered the first Arab Israeli war, which involved neighbouring Arab countries. This led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homeland.
