US agrees to resettle 1350 Palestinians from Iraq

Last month the U.S. agreed to resettle 1,350 Palestinians displaced by fighting in Iraq, marking the largest resettlement ever of Palestinian refugees into America.

Thousands of Palestinians moved to Iraq after the wars of 1948 and 1967, and the Gulf War in 1991. Prior to the 2003 invasion, the community had grown to a population of some 35,000 people.

Following the toppling of Saddam Hussein, Palestinians suffered from the same insecurities affecting the entire Iraqi population. They were, however, also specifically targeted for serious discriminatory treatment and acts of violence as a minority group without a militia to protect them. At least 186 Palestinians were murdered in Baghdad between April 2004 and January 2007.
