| Abbas rejects naturalization of Palestinians in Lebanon |
| 2008-02-28 |
| 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 Â… 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 Â… I'm sure of this and time will prove it," he added. |
