MK Yousef Jabareen (Hadash-Ta’al) responded to comments by a senior Israeli official who said that Israel was trying to persuade foreign countries to absorb Palestinian Arabs who choose to leave Gaza.
"The country that needs to absorb Palestinians from Gaza is Israel which, in addition to its obligation to remove the blockade on Gaza, must respect the UN's decisions on Palestinian refugees as part of any just peace solution," said Jabareen, who was quoted by Kan News.
