CAIRO, (PIC)– The Quds committee in the Arab Doctors Union criticized the recent statement of Mahmoud Abbas, the PA chief, in which he renounced the right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees.
Director of the committee Jamal Abdul Salam said in a statement on Saturday that the Palestinian people’s sacrifices for the sake of attaining their rights and right of return to their usurped homeland could not be forsaken by irresponsible statements by a president whose term in office had expired.
Abbas relinquished the right of six million refugees to return to their land while in fact this right none is entitled to forsake alone, Abdul Salam said, adding that it was the single right of each and every refugee that was guaranteed by the international law.
The director described Abbas’s statement as shocking.
Abbas had told an Israeli TV channel that Palestine was only the West Bank and Gaza and the rest was Israel.
