MIDDLEEAST TYCOON NEWS DESK: Jordan’s Department of Palestinian Affairs and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) held discussions on Sunday to address the urgent needs of displaced individuals in Palestinian refugee camps. Director-General Rafiq Khirfan condemned a “systematic campaign” against UNRWA, criticizing recent Israeli actions aimed at restricting the agency’s operations in the occupied territories, including East Jerusalem.
He described these measures as violations of international law that undermine UNRWA’s mission to support Palestinian refugees and advocate for their rights. Despite these challenges, Khirfan reaffirmed Jordan’s commitment to supporting UNRWA. UNRWA’s Jordan Affairs Director, Olaf Becker, expressed gratitude for Jordan’s ongoing support in facilitating the agency’s work in the camps.
