Moreover, Habib called on the participants to form an institution similar to the Quds institution that would be concerned with this matter and expand into several branches around the world.

Habib confirmed that he is certain that Palestinians” right to return will be realized as it is an eternal and legitimate right no power in the world can rule out.  Habib also pointed to the importance of patching up the Palestinian split as a major means towards realizing the hopes, ambitions, and rights of the struggling Palestinian people.
