THE SITUATION OF PALESTINIAN REFUGEES LIVING IN ARAB COUNTRIES OF THE MIDDLE EAST (Part 1)

Bibikova O.

Abstract

There are currently more than five 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.

Keywords
