Britain’s scheme for Palestinian refugees

A Lebanese newspaper, Al-Akhbar, has revealed that British officials’ recent visits to Lebanon is aimed at depriving Palestinians of their right to return to their own country while seeking to establish Lebanon as an ‘alternative homeland’ for the Palestinians.

During his latest visit to Lebanon, British Minister for the Middle East Alistair Burt raised the issue of Palestinian refugees in order to pave the way for the implementation of the Israeli regime’s ‘alternative homeland’ plot.

“Our discussions will also touch on the Middle East Peace Process and the urgent need for progress towards a two-state solution, as well as the situation of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon,” said Burt on his arrival in Lebanon on 20 April.

Al-Akhbar reported that the British plan “will make crucial social, political, and legal changes concerning the Palestinian existence in Lebanon” as it hopes that a “new legislative environment will be crystallised that serves to drop the Palestinian right of return.”

Scrapping the Palestinian right of return gives the Israeli regime the right over the property and land they have confiscated from Palestinians who have been forced to leave their homeland and seek refuge in other countries.

There are about 260,000 Palestinian refugees in Lebanon who are living under hard conditions. Some of them live in refugee camps which look more like concentration camps.
