GAZA - Gaza premier Ismail Haniyeh has said that the Palestinians categorically refuse the idea of an alternative homeland.
Haniyeh, addressing the Friday congregation in a newly inaugurated mosque in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza, said six million Palestinians, living outside Palestine, would not accept any other country (other than their homeland) to live in.
“You will return”, Haniyeh said addressing the Palestinian refugees, adding, “You have been refugees for more than 60 years and insisted on your right of return to your homeland despite pressures”.
The premier said that the liberation of Palestine would be possible when the Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims unite for that end.
