Thousands of Palestinian refugees get to see their leaders for first time in two decades.
(From AP Worldstream)
Byline: SAM F. GHATTAS
Palestinian refugees on Thursday got their first close look at their top political leaders in 22 years, winning reassurances that the right to return home _ a key sticking point through years of peace negotiations with Israel _ will not be abandoned.
The flag-waving rally here for the new Palestine Liberation Organization leader, Mahmoud Abbas, had all the trappings of a campaign stop with a crucial constituency. But the refugees that Abbas met with can't vote in the Palestinian elections scheduled for January.
And in a stark testimony to the difficulties that lay ahead for the new Palestinian leadership, Abbas and Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia stayed away from the largest refugee camp of Ein el-Hilweh, where rival Palestinian factions are heavily present.
