'Truth commission' to begin in Israel

Israelis who served in the 1948 war and Palestinians uprooted from their homes will testify before an expert panel.

On Wednesday, International Human Rights Day, the Israeli non-profit Zochrot will host the country's first unofficial "public truth commission", modelled on South Africa's post-apartheid truth and reconciliation process.

Israelis who served in the Negev Desert during the country's War of Independence and Palestinian refugees uprooted from the area between 1947 and 1949, will share testimonies before an expert panel of human rights lawyers, scholars and civil society activists in Beersheba, Israel.
