Reuters Video: Palestinian couple yearn for home

May 7 - It’s only a short drive from their house in East Jerusalem to their ancestral home in West Jerusalem, but the journey is a long one for one Palestinian couple.

As Israel prepares to celebrate its 60th birthday, Wilhelmine and George Baramki return to the ancestral home in Jerusalem which they fled during fighting when Israel declared its independence.

Now, they wonder whether they will ever enjoy the ‘right of return’ enshrined in Palestinian demands for statehood.
