PLO ambassador: Palestinians “are the owners of Palestine,” who have been here for millenia
PA TV newsreader talks on the phone with Ibrahim Kharisha, Palestinian ambassador to Geneva.
Kharisha: "We are the owners of Palestine. The Palestinians [were] in Palestine before the Jews came to us from Egypt, via Sinai. Before Christianity sprouted in Palestine, and before Islam arrived from the 'Hijaz', Palestinians have been in Palestine. And everyone remembers that in 2010, we celebrated the 10,000th anniversary of the establishment of the Palestinian city, Jericho…
The Palestinians have the right to implement international legal decisions, starting from the Partition Plan, in '48 (i.e., actually in 1947), and the Palestinian's right of return to their homes."
