GAZA (PIC)– MP Dr. Atef Odwan the former PA minister of refugees’ affairs on Sunday revealed that the Palestinian refugees fleeing persecution in Iraq and stranded at the Jordan borders would be deported to Canada.
Odwan a member of the Hamas-affiliated change and reform bloc in the PLC warned that the plan revealed by the UNHCR reflected an American-Israeli scheme to wipe out the question of Palestinian refugees.
He said in a press release that UNHCR might take up to 3000 Palestinian refugees from Iraq to resettle in Canada.
The MP charged the USA and Israel with trying to end once and for all the question of Palestinian refugee through different means affirming that the recent UNHCR revelation indicated that the scheme was in full swing.
Odwan asked the Arab and Muslim countries to provide a dignified life for the Palestinians and to enable them to live in the Arab world until they return to their homeland in Palestine.
The UNHCR on Saturday said that the USA offered to host around 7000 Palestinian refugees from Iraq.
The Palestinian refugees in Iraq asked for serious Arab endeavor to end their ordeal in that American occupied Arab country. They have been the target of systematic persecution at the hands of Iraqi armed militias ever since the USA occupied that Arab country.
