European Union rejects an Israeli plan of settling refugees AL-RIYADH, Jan. 01 (SANA-Official Syrian News Agency) www.sana.org/english/headlines/01-01/european_union_rejects_an_israel.htm "European Union has rejected an Israeli plan to settle the 1948 Palestinian Refugees through the establishment of developmental areas inside the Arab countries there are living in in as to melt them in those countries and to make them abandon their right to return home," A European diplomat unveiled.

In a statement to the Saudi al-Watan paper issued Saturday, the diplomat said: " Israeli premier Ariel Sharon, after this rejection, put aside any European Union role regarding the peace process."

The source added that Israel is seeking for practicing pressures to get further support to the plan that has been proposed in the past by it.

The paper quoted the source as saying that the plan includes calling on the interested parties that help the Palestinian authority, on top of which are the European Union and the International Bank to set ratio of the money designed for supporting the Palestinians to construct permanent houses instead of camps.

The source pointed out that Israel is looking for using ratio of the increase in UNRWA's new year budget to construct such houses.

The EU is pushing the Palestinian stance of "right to return" ... The "right of return" would mean an Arab takeover of the state of Israel.
