There are currently more than 5 million Palestinian refugees
in the world. Most of them live in the Arab countries of the Middle East:
Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. The UN has secured in numerous documents
the right of Palestinians to create their own state. However, the United States
offers Arab countries to accept Palestinians as their citizens. Palestinian
political organizations have rejected the plan because they believe it would
call into question their rights to return to their land.
