Title: President of the Palestine Land Society (PLS)

Position: Pro Right of Return to the question "What are the solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?"
Reasoning:

"For real and lasting peace to prevail, the Right of Return must be implemented. The illusion that the military supremacy and violation of all norms of human rights, which have prevailed during the last 50 years, can continue and gain permanence is dangerous and costly."
