Minister reaffirms unwavering support for Palestine on International Day of Solidarity

AMMAN — Minister of Government Communications Muhannad Mubaidin on Wednesday reiterated the Kingdom's firm support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, emphasising the longstanding history of unity and collaboration since the establishment of the Jordanian state.

Mubaidin's remarks were made during a radio interview, as part of the Open Media Day, organised in partnership with the Arab States Broadcasting Union on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People observed on November 29 annually.

He highlighted the King Hussein Bridge as a vital link connecting Jordan and Palestine and as a gateway for Palestinians seeking medical treatment and education in the Kingdom. 

Mubaidin pointed out the need for building an international narrative on the Palestinian issue, adding the ongoing war on Gaza has reignited international interest and solidarity with the Palestinians. 

In 1977, the UN General Assembly called for the annual observance of November 29 as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People (resolution 32/40 B).
