PA Parliament speaker: The Palestinian “nation has lived on its land… over thousands of years”

“Before the 127th session of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Palestinian Parliament Speaker Salim Al-Za'anoun… said that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is one of the most prolonged and harshest [occupations] in history, and that its aim is that one nation – with its own national roots, its own language and culture – should displace another nation that has lived on its land and developed its culture and civilization over thousands of years.
