Abbas tegen huisvesten Palestijnen in Libanon

 

Voorkom vooral iedere poging Palestijnse vluchtelingen ergens permanent te huisvesten, hou ze in ellendige omstandigheden, en blijf eisen dat Israel miljoenen nakomelingen van de vluchtelingen op zal nemen. Dit is het beste antwoord op Israels recente vredesvoorstel, waarin het - met een landruil - bijna 100% van de Westoever aanbood of compenseerde, inclusief een corridor tussen de Westoever en Gazastrook. Stel je voor dat er anders nog eens overeenstemming zou worden bereikt!

Mahmoud Abbas said he objects to the permanent resettlement of Palestinians in Lebanon. 

 

"The Palestinians have the right of return and this is an issue we are discussing with the Israelis," the Palestinian Authority president, meeting in Beirut on Thursday with Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, told reporters.

 

About 400,000 Palestinians live in 12 refugee camps in Lebanon. Most of them arrived in Lebanon in 1948 or are descendant of those refugees. The camps are a hotbed of ferment, with occasional outbursts of violence.

 

Abbas also called for a "comprehensive" solution to the Israeli-Arab conflict, including returning the Golan Heights to Syria and resolving the dispute between Israel and Lebanon over the border-area Shebaa Farms.
