The Palestinian Liberation Organization will remain the sole representative of the 'Palestinian nation' until statehood is realized and continue to be the representative of the Palestinian Diaspora, according to Zakariyah Al Agha, head of the Palestinian Refugees' Affairs Department. In an Arabic-language interview Al Agha, also known as Abu Ammar, said the PLO will remain relevant even after statehood just as the Jewish Agency still represents the Jews in Diaspora. The Jewish Agency, however, was a strictly political and administrative body, whereas the PLO has long been an active terrorist organization Addressing the 'Palestinian diasporta,'Al Agha said the creation of a PA state will not weaken their position. "On the contrary, the future state will support them and play a central role in defending their rights wherever they live," he said. Al Agha insisted it is the fundamental right of each Arab represented by the PLO who lives in diaspora to return to his homeland.
