The Portuguese parliament passed a resolution on Friday recognising the Palestinian Nakba and showing support for Palestinian self-determination.

The Nakba, or catastrophe, refers to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Zionist militias to make way for the creation of Israel in 1948.

The resolution condemned Israel's expansionism in the West Bank and continued violation of international law.

It also called on the Portuguese government to take a "clear and frank position", defending the rights of the Palestinian people.

In a premeditated military campaign starting in late 1947, Zionist forces killed around 13,000 Palestinians, destroyed at least 530 villages and forcibly expelled 80 percent of the Palestinian population from their homeland.

The Nakba is commemorated on 15 May each year, the day Israel declared independence.
