"Our homeland is our homeland," says Palestinian envoy to UN

Before US president Trump suggested that Gaza could be transformed into the ‘Riviera’ of the Middle East, the Palestinian envoy to the United Nations said that world leaders and people should respect Palestinians’ desire to remain in Gaza.

Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour:
1. Our homeland is our homeland, if part of it is destroyed, the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian people selected the choice to return to it,
2. And I think that leaders and people should respect the wishes of the Palestinian people.

Mansour did not name Trump but appeared to reject the US president’s proposal.

“Our country and our home is” the Gaza Strip, “it’s part of Palestine,” “We have no home.
