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.
