He added that the Kingdom will organize in cooperation with Sweden, Japan, the European Union and Turkey a conference on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly this month to discuss means of securing the necessary funding for the agency and further establishing the political support for its role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Any decline in the agency&#8217;s services and any attempt to undermine its role threatens to leave serious consequences, especially at a time when there is no prospect of ending the occupation and resolving the conflict on the basis of a two-state solution that guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, Al-Safadi said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Since the beginning of the current year, the minister noted, a total of $200 million has been collected, bringing the agency&#8217;s deficit down from $417 million to $217 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">\/\/Petra\/\/ AA<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; -Shaheennews Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman al-Safadi on Saturday said Jordan is tirelessly working to drum up international political and financial support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to enable it to continue its duties toward more than five million refugees Palestinian &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jordan-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
