Palestinian refugees laud King’s position on Palestine

AMMAN — Palestinian refugees in Jordan on Wednesday hailed His Majesty King Abdullah’s position on the Palestinian issue.

In a statement, they said that since his accession to the Throne, the King has been committed to supporting the Palestinian cause, stressing the strong and historic ties between Jordan and Palestine.

“As service and advisory committees at refugee camps in the Kingdom, we refuse and condemn any movements that attempt to undermine the official Jordanian position… to achieve narrow interests” at the expense of the Kingdom’s higher national interests, they said.

The Palestinian cause is a priority for King Abdullah, as he stresses at all international podiums and during visits to world capitals, they said in the statement.

The King has always asserted the importance of arriving at a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the need to restore all Palestinian rights, including their right to return, the refugees noted.
