Part 5 – Palestinian Refugees and the Role of UNRWA Featuring: Gwyn Lewis (UNRWA), Diba Abu Nejila (humanitarian professional) In this session we focused on Palestinian refugees – one of the core issues of the conflict and which under the Olso Accords was to be resolved in the context of permanent status talks between Israelis and Palestinians.
