Description
Summary:According to the Palestinian national narrative, 1948 symbolizes an historic injustice - deportation and loss of native land - whose solution will be brought about only by restoring this land to its rightful owners. Despite this, the resolution was accepted, along with other UN resolutions on the question of Palestine, and the PLO formulated a political position that made a clear distinction between the question of a state within the 1967 borders, the refugee problem and the "historical injustice of 1948": * Two states based on the 1947 UN Partition Plan. * A state within the 1967 borders, including Arab Jerusalem, based on UN Resolution 242 and upon the evacuation of settlements and the return of those Palestinians who were uprooted from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. * A closing of the 1948 file based on UN Resolution 194 concerning the return of refugees or resettlement, with financial compensation for their property.
