| Arab League rejects UNRWA official''s remarks on Palestinian refugees |
| 2010-10-31 |
| (KUNA) -- The Arab League denounced a statement by a UN official that the Paleostinian refugees should find another place in the Arab countries to live in. The Arab League's Section of Paleostine and Occupied Paleostinian Territories, said the statement by Andrew Whitley, Director of New York office of UN agency for Paleostinian refugees (UNRWA), was totally contradicting with UN resolutions concerning the Paleostinian refugees specially resolution 194, which authorized UNRWA to provide assistance to refugees until their return to their homes and houses which were confiscated by the Israelis in 1948. Whitley had said the Paleostinian refugees must not live in the illusion of achieving the right to return and that the Arab countries must search for a place for them in their lands to resettle there. The Arab League said more than 4.5 Paleostinian refugees have the right to return to their homes. While highly appreciating the role of UNRWA, said the Section, it rejected Whitley's statement who should defend rights of the Paleostinian refugees. |
