Visual: A regional map including the map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as “Palestine” colored red.

Text underneath: “This is a right that the international conventions and norms confirm”

Narrator: “The first clause [of the PLO Charter] states that: Palestine is an Arab homeland… and that the Palestinian Arab people is the one with the legitimate right to its homeland, and an inseparable part of the Arab nation…”
