... easier to get a visa to Sweden than to get permission for a Palestinian actor to go to Jerusalem

March 31, 1998 15.37  
George Ibrahim, Palestinian actor, writer and playwright, brought up an important question in the disucssion with Federico Mayor, which reflects the difficulties involved when attempting to create this new climate of dialogue:

"For us, it is easier to get a visa to Sweden than to get permission for a Palestinian actor to go to Jerusalem. How can we be part of this dialogue if we don't have our political rights?"

"You have your rights, but they are not recognized. The only recommendation I have is to try and try. One day there will be a solution as we have seen in countries like El Salvador and Guatemala. So, don't give up", answered Federico Mayor.
