Palestinian diaspora meets after seeing hopes dashed by US

‘Thousands of Palestinians have taken part in a conference in the Turkish city of Istanbul to chart out the way ahead in the face of the new US government’s renunciation of the “two-state” solution.
The two-day event, dubbed “Conference for Palestinians Abroad,” kicked off on Saturday and brought together 5,000 Palestinians from 50 countries across the globe.
In a statement, the organizers said the summit was aimed at activating the role of the Palestinian diaspora in defending their right to return to their homeland and establish an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital.
The Palestinian Authority criticized the event, saying it was not a representative of the Palestinian people. There were also brickbats about the location of the conference.’
