Folke Bernadotte
Folke Bernadotte was a Swedish diplomat and United Nations mediator renowned for his efforts to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict in the late 1940s. He advocated for the rights of Palestinian refugees, urging their right to return to their homes after being displaced during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Tragically, Bernadotte was assassinated on September 17, 1948, by members of the Lehi group, who opposed his peace initiatives and views on Palestinian rights.
