From Palestine History: This is a rare photograph from inside the Abu Taha family palace in the Ajami neighborhood of Yafa in what was known as the whole of Palestine. The Abu Taha household was one of the most prominent families in the city. They were known for exporting oranges all over the world. The photograph dates from 1940.
Seda Ayad writes:
This isn’t just an old photograph… it’s a window, opened for a few seconds, onto the Yafa of yesteryear, the story of a city whose oranges reached the world, and whose families built a legacy of trade and prosperity.
Inside the Abu Taha family palace in the Ajami neighborhood in 1940. This photograph stands as a testament to a time when Yafa had a different face… elegance, wealth, and vibrant life, before the years of change altered the landscape and its people.
Every angle in this photograph speaks volumes… and every detail deserves our attention.
Thank you to the author who doesn’t just publish a photograph from the past, but restores a piece of our almost lost memory.
Yafa isn’t just seen in photographs… Yafa is read in its details.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Monday that Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is in “full physical health” following a seven-hour meeting.
“We met with the Leader of the Revolution and discussed all manner of issues. Physically, he was in full health,” Pezeshkian said during a meeting cited by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
“He offered his guidance, and I raised the concerns and problems. He listened to what I had to say with ease,” he added.
The official IRNA news agency earlier reported that Khamenei and Pezeshkian held a seven-hour long meeting to discuss challenges facing the country.
“Maintaining unity and cohesion was the most important advice that the Supreme Leader of the Revolution emphasized,” Pezeshkian said.
He added that the meeting primarily focused on people’s livelihoods, employment and housing, as well as “the problems caused by sanctions.”
Iran is engaged in a military conflict with Washington since the US and Israel launched a joint offensive against Tehran in February, fueling regional tensions. Iran retaliated with attacks targeting regional countries hosting US military assets.
Iran and the US agreed to a ceasefire in April and subsequently signed a memorandum of understanding in June aimed at ending their military conflict and reaching a lasting peace agreement.
The deal, however, collapsed last month with Tehran and Washington exchanging attacks for nearly two weeks before US President Donald Trump abruptly halted the bombardment amid reports of talks to resolve the conflict according to Anadolu.
