A group of parliamentarians met the Director-General of League of Parliamentarians for Palestine Mohammad Makram Balawi on Friday in an informal session. The Palestinian group complained about the Indian government’s “indifference” towards the Palestinian cause and Indian government’s “pro-Israel bias”.
Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Balawi said, that the two-state solution was long dead, because Israel had occupied a majority of the land in Palestine and 50% of the Palestinians live outside of the Palestine. “People talk about the two-state solution, but in practice it is long dead. There is no land left for the Palestinian state. Palestinians control only 6% of land in West Bank and a total of 1% of land of the historical Palestine,” he said.
Abdullah Biltaji, head of public relations of the organisation, was also present. The duo are on a personal trip to India.
