Palestinian Refugees in West Bank Will Not Be Citizens of New State
(Daily Star-Lebanon) Annie Slemrod - Palestine's ambassador to Lebanon Abdullah Abdullah told the Daily Star Wednesday that Palestinian refugees would not become citizens of the proposed Palestinian state. "Even Palestinian refugees who are living inside the [Palestinian] state, they are still refugees. They will not be considered citizens." He said statehood "will never affect the right of return for Palestinian refugees." "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."
