Which was a direct consequence of the Middle East conflict for Palestinians?
AFull membership of the Arab League states
BA rapid expansion of Palestinian territory
CA sharp rise in the refugee population
DThe withdrawal of all imperialist interest
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A sharp rise in the refugee population
1. The conflict displaced large numbers of people from their homes.
2. That displacement produced a steadily rising Palestinian refugee population.
3. New Jewish settlements were built on Palestinian land, so territory shrank rather than expanded.
4. The region was subjected to repeated wars rather than settlement.
5. Imperialist involvement was consolidated rather than withdrawn, which is the opposite of the last option.
