UN Nakba commemoration faces boycott from 32 countries.

The United Nations is officially commemorating the Nakba, the annual Palestinian commemoration of their mass displacement during the establishment of Israel, for the first time in history. The international body is marking the 75th anniversary of the displacement to "serve as a reminder of the historic injustice suffered by the Palestinian people" and to spotlight the ongoing refugee crisis. Israeli officials are urging U.N. member states to boycott the event, while the U.S., U.K., and Canada were among 30 countries that voted against the U.N. resolution to adopt this year's commemoration.
