In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... movement demonstrated in Gazoo on Saturday against the way organizers of the Pan Arab games in Qatar depicted a map of Paleostine. In the opening ceremony of the event some weeks ago, the West Bank and Gazoo Strip were highlighted in yellow on a large-scale projection of the map of Paleostine. Protesters slammed the Qatari decision to illustrate the borders of Paleostine in such a way, carrying signs which depicted maps of historic, or mandate, Paleostine. "Sorry Qatar, these are the borders of our Paleostine, and historic Paleostine is a red line," some of the signs read. "Qatar chose to go in line with the Israeli plans when the map was highlighted," Islamic Union member Arafat Abu Zayid said. Paleostine stretches from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean sea and belongs to the Paleostinian people, he added, noting that it is not possible to give up one inch of land. He urged the Paleostinian Authority to sever relations with Qatar.
Egypt finished top of the medals board while Paleostine finished 15th.
