Elias Khoury (Arabic: إلياس خوري; 12 July 1948 – 15 September 2024) was a Lebanese novelist and advocate of the Palestinian cause.^[1] His novels and literary criticism have been translated into several languages. In 2000, he won the Prize of Palestine for his book Gate of the Sun, and he won the Al Owais Award for fiction writing in 2007.^[2] Khoury also wrote three plays and two screenplays.^{[citation needed]}

From 1993 to 2009, Khoury served as an editor of Al-Mulhaq, the weekly cultural supplement of the Lebanese daily newspaper Al-Nahar.^{[citation needed]} He also taught at universities in Middle Eastern and European countries, and the United States.^{[citation needed]}

The notion that Palestinians suffer from a continuous Nakba is a leitmotif running through much of his work.^[3]
