Refugee expert calls on West to resettle Palestinians

Kristele Younes of Refugees International writes about the Iraq refugee crisis for the think thank Foreign Policy in Focus. She recommends that "Western countries, including the U.S., must agree to resettle particularly vulnerable groups, such as the Palestinians, without prejudice to their right to return to their country as recognized under international law." Kristele visited the border camps last November and heard first hand the testimonies of Palestinian refugees.
