Prince William to Palestinians: 'you have not been forgotten'
RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Britain's Prince William traveled to the West Bank on Wednesday, spreading a message of peace as he met with the Palestinian president and toured a Palestinian refugee camp.
William, trying to steer clear of politics, praised what he called the close ties between Britain and the Palestinians.
"I'm very glad that our two countries work so closely together and have had success stories with education and relief work," he said. "My sentiments are the same as yours in hoping that there is a lasting peace in the region."
William said he was "struck by how many people in the region want a just and lasting peace." He added these are the "same aspirations of young people everywhere in the world."
"My message tonight is that you have not been forgotten," the prince said.
