Maen Areikat, the Palestinian Liberation Organization's ambassador to the United States, met with reporters Tuesday in Washington D.C. and confirmed that Jews would not be allowed to live in the future state of Palestine.
The Weekly Standard's John McCormack reported that Areikat claimed the state would tolerate minorities. "Asked by the Daily Caller's Jamie Weinstein if, following the establishment of a Palestinian state, 'there would be no Jews in the West Bank or Gaza,' Areikat answered in the affirmative. 'We have to be separated, we have to work on our own national identities,' he said."
