Amman, Sept. 22 (Petra) — General Union of Voluntary Societies
(GUVS) President Amer Al-Khawaldeh praised the contents of His
Majesty King Abdullah II’s address to the United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA) on Tuesday, emphasizing the king’s call for global
accountability toward pressing humanitarian crises and the rejection
of normalization surrounding wartime suffering.

In an official statement released on Tuesday, Al-Khawaldeh stated
that the royal address placed the international community directly
before its obligations regarding the plight of the Palestinian
people, particularly in the Gaza Strip. He noted that mitigating
human suffering requires urgent international action to protect
civilians and preserve human dignity.

Al-Khawaldeh highlighted the king’s assertion that universal
principles must remain steadfast regardless of shifting global media
attention or competing geopolitical priorities. Victims of war, armed
conflict, and forced displacement require sustained humanitarian
responses rather than transient international interest, he added.

The union chief noted that the king’s commentary on protracted crises
underscores the necessity for international institutions to enforce
international law effectively and prioritize basic living conditions
for affected populations. He reaffirmed that Jordan’s continued
support for the Palestinian people and the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) reflects
the kingdom’s unwavering commitment to the humanitarian dimensions of
the Palestinian cause.

Al-Khawaldeh concluded by highlighting the vital role of charitable
and civil society organizations in fostering social solidarity and
assisting vulnerable communities, stressing that coordinating efforts
with official bodies and international relief agencies is essential
for meeting growing humanitarian demands.
