“Palestinians have been marking the 78th anniversary of the Nakba”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms that Nakba Day is the day of commemoration for the 1948 displacement. While the specific '78th' anniversary date (May 15, 2026) is a future date relative to standard training data, the evidence provided confirms the nature of the event and the date of the Nakba (1948), making the 78th anniversary calculation mathematically correct for 2026.
