The Knesset plenum held talks in honor of the anniversary of the exodus of Jewish communities from Arab countries and from Iran/
Knesset Speaker Yoel (Yuli) Edelstein said at the start of the meeting that the concept of “refugees” keeps being brought up in talks on the Israeli-Palestinian Authority conflict.
According to Edelstein, “The Palestinian Authority leadership does not stop demanding recognition; demands that have thus far thwarted any possible negotiations… Their demands completely ignore the second side of the balance: those Jewish refugees who were expelled from Arab countries.”
