Jordanian society for refugees warns of tampering with right of return

The Jordanian society for the return of refugees (Aidoun) expressed its great concern over media leaks talking about understandings between the Palestinian Authority, Israel and the US regarding the future of the Palestinian refugees, warning of tampering with the Palestinian right of return.

“The society follows with deep concern what has been reported by some media outlets about transitional agreements and framework understandings on the future of the Palestinian refugees as the most important part of the cause,” the Jordanian society said in a press release on Saturday.

“The media leaks about the possibility of reaching a transitional framework agreement giving a priority for recognizing the Zionist entity as a Jewish state, and talks about retaining major settlement blocs, swapping lands and staying conditionally in the Jordan Valley, with reference to the possibility of resolving the issue of refugees in their whereabouts in the future despite the great suffering they are enduring in several places… all this raises reasonable fears and concerns among the masses of refugees who make up more than two thirds of the Palestinian people at home and abroad, and gives cause for caution,” the society emphasized.

The Jordanian society highlighted that the right of return is inalienable and cannot be waived by anyone regardless of his position because it is a collective right.
