JENIN (Ma'an) -- Thirty-five men from Jenin have made a chair to send to the United Nations in New York in hopeful anticipation of the state of Palestine gaining a seat in the world body.
Made of cloth from Nablus weaved in Hebron, the idea for the small blue chair came from Ramallah, engineer Sufian Al-Qawasmi told Ma'an.
It was made in Jenin and two keys symbolizing refugees' right to return were sent from Jerusalem, said Al-Qaqwasmi, who supervised the design of the chair.
He said the olive-wood chair was made in 48 hours to represent 1948, the year of the Nakba when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee their homes as the state of Israel was established. Read the rest on:
