AMMAN (Quds Press) – The High Committee for the Defense of the Palestinian Refugee Right of Return in Jordan has condemned American and Zionist attempts to “liquidate” the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). “The idea to modify the mandate of the UNRWA and merge it within the UN High Commissioner for Refugees coincides with calls and campaigns seeking to delegitimize the international Palestine refugee body,” the High Committee said in a statement. According to the statement, the High Committee said that these attempts “undermine the legal and political rights of Palestine refugees.”

Meanwhile, the High Committee condemned the attempts to incite donor states against the UNRWA, efforts exerted to push donors to halt their donations and change the textbooks used in UNRWA’s schools.
