The Palestinian Authority  “wouldn’t last one day” if Israel withdrew from Area B and C of Judea and Samaria, asserted Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon (Yisrael Beytenu). Hamas would take over the PA just as it did in Gaza.

Ayalon was adamant, stating that the Palestinian refugee issue is a greater obstacle to peace than Jerusalem, and is growing worse day by day because of the special UNWRA definition of a “Palestinian Refugee” which includes descendants of refugees, at total variance to the non-Palestinian UNHCR’s definition of “refugee”.

The Israel-Arab conflict is the only conflict in the world where the descendants of refugees remain defined as “refugees.”  Israel’s integration of Jewish refugees should be the model for the Palestinian refugees to settle in Arab countries, Danon said.
