In what could be a significant change of policy from the Palestinian Authority, a plan entitled “The Initiative of Return and Coexistence” has been launched by the PA to call for the return of all Palestinians from the Diaspora to their homelands in what is now Israel in order to comply with United Nations Resolution 194 which says that “…refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or in equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible”.
If true, then this is sensational news for both the Israeli and the Palestinian people. The plan has been drawn up by Fatah operative and Deputy Minister for Prisoners Affairs of the Palestinian Authority, Ziad Abu Ein.
