Hezbollah warns US plan could naturalise Palestinian diaspora | ||

[PULSE.NG] Speaking days after the US announced a May conference in Bahrain to lay out economic aspects of its long-awaited Israeli-Paleostinian peace plan, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah warned of an "ominous deal aimed at eliminating the Paleostinian cause".
The vast majority cling tightly to hopes, enshrined in a key UN Security Council resolution, of returning to lands their families once owned but which are now inside Israel. An estimated 174,000 Paleostinian refugees live in Leb, according to a census by national authorities in 2017. The UN estimates there are tens of thousands more. Hezbollah has long championed the Paleostinian cause, but the Paleostinian presence is controversial in Leb, where many blame them for causing the bitter civil war that ravaged the country between 1975 and 1990. Leb's Paleostinian camps suffer poverty, overcrowding, unemployment, poor and dangerous housing conditions and a lack of infrastructure. Today, "it's not enough to say we're all against naturalisation -- the danger of naturalisation is approaching," Nasrallah said during a televised address marking the 19th anniversary of Israel's withdrawal from southern Leb. | ||

#1 I think it would be better for the Palestinians to get to work building a solid and prosperous economy in their lands rather than to engage in continual self-defeating propaganda and provocations. But that is just me. |
