(ABC News/Reuters) Dan Williams - Few Palestinian refugees want to return to lands lost in the 1948 war of Israel's creation. Karen Koning AbuZayd, who became commissioner of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) in June, said Tuesday, "I am really convinced that most of the people would not want to return. Perhaps there are a few old people who dream about going back to their houses, but no more than that." "Most refugees do not think about it at all. The right to return to their homes is much more important to them than the act of returning," she said. Asked about AbuZayd's remarks, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said, "I think everyone in the international community understands that the so-called right of return is diametrically opposed to the principles of a two-state solution in which both peoples have national self-determination."2005-08-10 00:00:00Full Article
