I en intervju för den libanesiska tidningen The Daily Star säger palestinske ambassadören Abdullah Abdullah att palestinska flyktingar inte kommer att få medborgarskap i en ny palestinsk stat.
Inte ens flyktingar som bor på den palestinska statens territorium kommer att få medborgarskap, de kommer fortfrande att vara flyktingar.
De palestinska ledarnas ointresse för att förbättra situationen för sitt eget folk är häpnadsväckande.
Interview: Refugees will not be citizens of new state Read more: http://www.dailystar.com.lb:80/News/Politics/2011/Sep-15/148791-interview-refugees-will-not-be-citizens-of-new-state.ashx#ixzz1YmhucAtW (The Daily Star :: Lebanon News :: http://www.dailystar.com.lb)
"The ambassador unequivocally says that Palestinian refugees would not become citizens of the sought for U.N.-recognized Palestinian state, an issue that has been much discussed. “They are Palestinians, that’s their identity,” he says. “But … they are not automatically citizens.”
This would not only apply to refugees in countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and Jordan or the other 132 countries where Abdullah says Palestinians reside. Abdullah said that “even Palestinian refugees who are living in [refugee camps] inside the [Palestinian] state, they are still refugees. They will not be considered citizens.”
Abdullah said that the new Palestinian state would “absolutely not” be issuing Palestinian passports to refugees.
Neither this definitional status nor U.N. statehood, Abdullah says, would affect the eventual return of refugees to Palestine. “How the issue of the right of return will be solved I don’t know, it’s too early [to say], but it is a sacred right that has to be dealt with and solved [with] the acceptance of all.” He says statehood “will never affect the right of return for Palestinian refugees.”
The right of return that Abdullah says is to be negotiated would not only apply to those Palestinians whose origins are within the 1967 borders of the state, he adds. “The state is the 1967 borders, but the refugees are not only from the 1967 borders. The refugees are from all over Palestine. When we have a state accepted as a member of the United Nations, this is not the end of the conflict. This is not a solution to the conflict. This is only a new framework that will change the rules of the game.”Read more: http://www.dailystar.com.lb:80/News/Politics/2011/Sep-15/148791-interview-refugees-will-not-be-citizens-of-new-state.ashx#ixzz1YmjDF9US (The Daily Star :: Lebanon News :: http://www.dailystar.com.lb)
