Cairo, July 21 (Petra) – Jordan reaffirmed its support on Tuesday for
the Palestinian cause and the UNRWA’s vital role during the 115th
session of the Conference of Supervisors of Palestinian Affairs in
Arab Host Countries, hosted by the Arab League.

Jordan’s permanent delegation to the Arab League participated in the
three-day conference, chaired by Ahmad Abu Holi, Member of the
Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO)
and Head of the Department of Refugee Affairs.

Delegates discussed strategies to bolster joint Arab coordination on
key issues, including Jerusalem, settlement activities, UNRWA’s
financial stability, regional economic support for Palestinian
territories, and follow-up on recommendations from the 93rd session
of the Educational Affairs Council of Palestinian Children.

During the meetings, the Jordanian delegation noted that the
Palestinian cause remains the Kingdom’s top priority, emphasizing
support for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders with East
Jerusalem as the capital of an independent Palestinian state.

The delegation stressed the efforts of the Hashemite Custodianship
over Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem under His Majesty
King Abdullah II to safeguard the city’s historic and legal status
quo.

Addressing refugee rights, the delegation said that a just solution
must align with UN General Assembly Resolution 194, securing the
right of return and compensation while safeguarding the rights of
host nations.

The delegation described UNRWA as a “non-negotiable lifeline” for
millions of refugees, calling on international donors to deliver
sustainable and predictable funding to protect the agency’s mandate,
facilities, and staff.
