Palestinian Minister of Culture in Gaza Osama Al-Isawi has castigated the Palestinian embassy in Ankara for distributing an official pamphlet delineating countries with borders with Palestine citing Israel as one along with Egypt and Jordan.

Isawi, in a press release on Saturday, said that the pamphlet, which said that the total area of Palestine was that of the West Bank and Gaza Strip only, should be withdrawn.

He added that the entire historical land of Palestine is Awqaf  land that could not be surrendered or ceded to any party.

The minister said that the PA in Ramallah should instruct its embassies abroad to highlight Palestinian constants and rights.

The Palestinian embassies should rally support for Palestinian legitimate rights, Isawi underlined.

The embassy distributed the pamphlet that included a map last Thursday in the Turkish capital during the Palestinian cultural week. It included historical and geographical errors.
