El Presidente de la Autoridad Palestina, Mahmoud Abbas (May 14, 2011):
"La AP nunca descuidará el derecho de retorno de los palestinos a sus casas originales en Palestina. (...) Cada Palestino tiene derecho a ver Palestina y volver a la tierra de su hogar, porque la tierra del hogar es nuestro destino final."

Progress on Refugee Negotiation (Oct 2008) (Oct 25, 2008) - Documento filtrado entre los PalestinePapers - The refugee issue was managed by Tal Becker and Saeb Erekat through the exchange of drafts on the positions of both parties until July 2008. On July 14, 2008, at Erekat’s request, the technical work carried out by the NSU on the international mechanism was presented to the Israeli side. Since that date, the Israeli and Palestinian negotiation teams convened 3 times. During these meetings, similarly to what occurred in the previous months, the discussion was structured on the basis of the Is&Ps document. Following the directives of Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, the parties tried to bridge “minor” gaps between their respective positions, while isolating for future talks what was understood as the two main sensitive policy issues: return and responsibility. The paper further explains the conclusions of two additional meetings. It also provides an assessment of what is acheivable, and detailed a detailed chart of Palestinian and Israeli positions and arguments communicated.
