Amman, June 9 (Petra) — Lower House Speaker Mazen Al-Qadi met on
Monday with Omar Al-Ghul, head of the Palestinian-Arab Brotherhood
Committee in the Palestinian National Council (PNC), and an
accompanying delegation.

The delegation included committee members Omran Al-Khatib, Fawzi
Al-Samhouri, and Rasem Al-Khatib, alongside PNC Director General
Khaled Ayyad.

According to a parliamentary statement, Al-Qadi affirmed that Jordan,
under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, will
steadfastly uphold its historical duty to defend the Palestinian
cause, emphasizing that the Kingdom spares no effort in supporting
the resilience of the Palestinian people.

The meeting attended by the head of the House’s Palestine Committee,
MP Suleiman Al Soud, as well as MPs Ibrahim Al-Tarawneh and Abdul
Rahman Al-Awaysheh underscored Jordan’s firm stance backing the
two-state solution as the sole guarantee for establishing an
independent Palestinian state on its national soil.

For their part, the Palestinian delegates highly valued Jordan’s
unwavering positions, guided by His Majesty King Abdullah II, in
championing Palestinian rights across international arenas. They
emphasized the vital importance of the Hashemite Custodianship over
Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem while rejecting ongoing
violations and forced displacement schemes.

The delegation also voiced categorical rejection of Israeli policies,
particularly settlement expansion and incursions in Jerusalem and the
Al-Aqsa Mosque, warning of the severe threats these actions pose to
the historical and legal status quo. They stressed the critical need
to protect international organizations serving Palestinians, foremost
among them the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

Meanwhile, MPs Al Soud, Al-Tarawneh, and Al-Awaysheh emphasized the
importance of boosting cooperation and coordination between the
Jordanian Lower House and the PNC within regional and international
parliamentary forums. They reiterated that Jordan’s continuous
delivery of humanitarian aid reflects an unbreakable commitment to
the Palestinian people.
