Abbas rejects naturalization of Palestinians in Lebanon
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was quoted Wednesday as rejecting the naturalization of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and stated he is against any demographic change in Lebanon . Abbas made the remarks in an interview published by the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat."We would never accept any settlement that leads to naturalizing Palestinians in Lebanon," Abbas said. "We would not accept any settlement that leads to a demographic change in Lebanon. This is totally unacceptable we won't accept a settlement that obliges Lebanon to naturalize even one Palestinian. We would find a settlement that satisfies Palestinians in Lebanon and satisfies Lebanon I'm sure of this and time will prove it," he added. Posted by: Fred 2008-02-28 |
