ISTANBUL — A new cultural center in Turkey, called Palestinian House or Beyt Filastin, aims to unite Palestinians living in the country while making their history, culture, and struggle for freedom visible to a wider audience [172786].

The center brings together Palestinians from different backgrounds, offering a shared space in Turkey. Organizers say the project goes beyond a physical location. “Palestine is no longer limited to geography,” they said [172786].

By showcasing Palestinian heritage and the ongoing fight for liberation, the house seeks to keep the Palestinian identity alive far from the homeland. It serves as a cultural hub for community events, education, and solidarity [172786].
