Palestinian source: Olmert's refugee claim not agreed with us
In response to former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's claim that the US had agreed to take in 100,000 Palestinian refugees as part of a solution to the conflict, a Palestinian source said to Ynet that if such an agreement had been reached, it had been with the US alone.
The source said disagreement had remained on the subject of refugees right to the end. "We wanted Israel to absorb hundreds of thousands, while Israel talked about absorbing far fewer," the source said, but confirmed that various countries around the world had agreed to take in thousands.
