He added: “Unfortunately, the tragedy of Palestine continues with the attacks of the Israeli regime, airstrikes, the expansion of settlements and the expulsion of Palestinians.” Lasting peace in the occupied Palestinian territories is only possible through the solution of creating a continuous Palestinian state according to the pre-1967 borders with Quds Sharif as its capital.
