Refugees will not be citizens of new state. Imagine an ambassador who is supposed to represent a group of people telling the whole world that his group of people will not automatically become citizens of the new state they have wished for a long time, because they are refugees. That is exactly what the Palestinian ambassador to Lebanon unequivocally told the whole world. This simply shows that the campaign for a new Palestinian state is nothing but a reopening salvo of the long running Israeli-Arab war. The Palestinian state is just a sacrificial pawn for the Arab League, and Israeli leaders know this. Recognition of a Palestinian state by UN, without having them renounce violence against Israel is tantamount to an implicit declaration of war against the latter. History will repeat itself, and the war for the survival of the state of Israel will consume everything that gets involved in it.
