Call by the BADIL Friends Forum and BADIL Resource Center:

Organize Public Debates with the Palestinian Negotiators!

Our Palestinian public, especially refugees, have the right to know the position our political leadership which may determine the fate of our future generations. Therefore, we, the BADIL Friends Forum, composed of refugees active in some 30 organizations and initiatives in the West Bank refugee camps, call upon our local, regional, and international partners to:

1. Organize public debates on the Palestinian position in the final status negotiations. Palestinian officials and experts must be invited to clarify and discuss the Palestinian negotiation strategy. They must hear the opinion and demands of the Palestinian refugees, and they must know that we will insist in the implementation of our rights as established by international law and UN Resolutions, especially the right to return to our homes and property.

2. Intensify the efforts towards the formation of an independent refugee movement in Palestine and in exile. Only such a movement, based on international law and principles can impose press on the Palestinian negotiators, on Israel and the international community, and safeguard the legitimacy of Palestinian refugee right irrespective of the outcome of the final status negotiations.
