AMMAN — Jordan on Monday welcomed the decision made by the Executive Board of UNESCO to support the continuity of educational activities of UNRWA in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Sufian Qudah expressed the Kingdom's support for the decision, which aims to sustain UNRWA's operations in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, according to a ministry statement.
Qudah stressed the Palestinian people's right to education, especially in light of recent Israeli Knesset law banning UNRWA's activities in the occupied territories and denying its staff the diplomatic privileges and immunities granted to UN organisations operating there.
He urged the international community to continue providing financial and political support to UNRWA, which plays an "irreplaceable and indispensable" role in delivering essential services to Palestinian refugees across its five areas of operation.
