Refugees. 1. Significance of the Refugee Problem
Refugees. Those individuals who have the required INS documentation showing they meet a status in one of these groups: refugees, asylees, Cuban parolees/Haitian entrants, Amerasians or human trafficking victims.
Refugees. The resolution of the Palestinian refugee issue will recognise the suffering and injustice experienced by Palestinian refugees, resolving their plight in an agreed, just, and fair manner consistent with this two state agreement. To this end, a number of options for the future permanent place of residence of refugees will be agreed and implemented. Israel will provide a number and modality for refugee absorption and resettlement within Israel as part of this overall agreement. Palestinian refugees will be entitled to citizenship in the State of Palestine in accordance with the laws and policies of that state. Absorption and rehabilitation in host countries, and resettlement in third countries will be at those countries’ sovereign discretion and will be coordinated by the UN within the context of this agreement. An international commission will be established to implement all aspects of the agreement reached by the parties, including a mechanism of compensation and rehabilitation for Palestinian refugees, including where relevant for host countries. Israel will contribute an agreed sum to this mechanism. UNRWA will continue to carry out its responsibilities until those are superseded by the full implementation of all aspects of this agreement. The full implementation of the above constitutes the fulfilment of UN General Assembly Resolution 194 (1948). Background explanation: Having set out in the very first clause that the resolution will be consistent with two states, we felt it was important to list the options for residence as follows: (1) Israel, whereby Israel provides the number of refugees to be absorbed within the context of an overall agreement – so this has to be an agreed number; (2) Palestine, noting that the state of Palestine has sovereignty to set its laws and policies in this respect; and (3) host and third countries, to be coordinated by the UN and parts of the agreement. Any text should absolutely reference compensation (including where relevant to host countries) and an explicit Israeli contribution to compensation. We considered it worth noting XXXXX’s continued role until the agreement is implemented. We did not consider reference to the plight of Jewish refugees from Arab countries to be appropriate in a parameters text relating to Israeli-Palestinian peace since this is clearly an issue to be exclusively dealt with between Israel and relevant Arab states. Its inclusion within a parameters text would also be expected to complicate effor...
Refugees. 7.1 The Parties commit to a comprehensive, just and agreed resolution of the Palestinian refugee issue in accordance with international law, including UNGA Resolution 194, and the Arab Peace Initiative, as agreed in this Article.
Refugees. The two sides discussed the Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 and the Jews who left Arab countries in the aftermath of the 1948 War of Independence. Palestinians insisted on the Right of Return of all Palestinian Arabs to Israel – a non- starter that would demographically liquidate the Jewish state.
Refugees. Persons as defined in 8 USC 1101 (a) (42) (a A). A 15 refugee is a "person who is outside any country of such person's nationality 16 or, in the case of a person having no nationality, is outside any country in 17 which such persons habitually resided, and who is unable or unwilling to 18 return to, and is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the 19 protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of 20 persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a 21 particular social group, or political opinion." Refugees must be at least 22 eighteen (18) years of age and not full-time students in primary or secondary 23 schools.
Refugees. This Convention shall apply to refugees who are residing in the territory of either Party. It shall apply under the same conditions to members of their families, and to their survivors, with respect to the rights they derive from those refugees.

Refugees. There is a clear Israeli interest that part of the Palestinian response to Israeli action in realizing the partial agreements will be steps connected to a solution of the refugee problem. Clearly, they cannot be steps in which the Palestinians waive their principal claims on this issue outside the framework of a permanent agreement; thus the steps will have to be mainly oriented towards practical treatment of rehabilitation of the refugees. One step can be the start of discussion and the creation of frameworks for discussion with international elements regarding their participation in, and funding of, the rehabilitation process. Another step can be a basic discussion on the level of compensation for the refugees, and on the international implementation mechanism of the compensation. Third is agreement on discussion of the narratives of both sides on this subject, designed to bridge as far as possible the gaps in the narratives: this will generate a willingness on both sides to recognize their responsibility. Such discussion can be of great symbolic importance. At an advanced stage there can be Israeli consent to controlled return of Palestinian refugees to areas in the West Bank controlled by the Palestinians (as Israel controls the crossings, this return will in any event be controlled).
Refugees. 1. Significance of the Refugee Problem (a) The Parties recognize that, in the context of two independent states, Palestine and Israel, living side by side in peace, an agreed resolution of the refugee problem is necessary for achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting peace between them.
