RAMALLAH (Ma‘an) Thu 6 Mar — Fatah central committee member Mohammad
Ishtayyeh said on Thursday that the Palestinian Authority had attempted
to negotiate the return of Palestinian refugees from Syria, but Israel
had refused. Ishtayyeh said in a meeting with diplomats organized by the
Heinrich Böll Foundation in Ramallah that the PA had tried with all its
might to “end the suffering” of Palestinians in Syria through
international mediation. Israeli officials, however, had refused to
allow them to come to the Palestinian territories. At least 1,500
Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Syria conflict, and around
250,000 Palestinian refugees have been forced to leave their homes in
Syria due to violence in the country.
