The Palestinians cannot be removed from their homeland, and every building built by the Zionist occupation will be destroyed, said Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas in a video uploaded to his Facebook page earlier this month.
Speaking at the Jalazone Refugee Camp near Ramallah, Abbas claimed the Palestinians are the biblical Canaanites and have lived in Palestine for 5,000 years. He called the U.S.-led conferences in Warsaw, Poland, in February and in Manama, Bahrain, in June “unacceptable” to the Palestinian people.
