Jordan is intensifying its efforts to mobilize political and financial support for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said Thursday.
Safadi made the remarks during a meeting with UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini, where they discussed means to provide sustainable support to the agency and enable it to continue its vital services for some 5.7 million Palestinian refugees, Jordanian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Safadi renewed Jordan’s unaltered stance that the agency must continue its operations until the Palestinian refugee issue is solved based on the two-state solution, it said.
He also warned about the humanitarian, political and security repercussions that would have huge impact on the region’s security and stability, if the agency is unable to offer its services.
For his part, Lazzarini praised the continuous Jordanian efforts to mobilize international support for UNRWA and help it cover its financial deficit.
“We continue to call on all the parties to take all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure in line with their obligations under international humanitarian law,” a UN spokesman said.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday expressed concern over the civilian casualties in a U.S. raid that led to the death of Islamic State (IS) leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
Asked for the secretary-general’s comment on the U.S. operation in Syria against al-Qurayshi, Farhan Haq, Guterres’ deputy spokesman, said: “We’ve taken note of the announcement by the U.S. president of the death of Abu Ibrahim al-Qurayshi, the leader of Da’esh. We note with concern reports of civilian casualties.”
Da’esh is the Arabic acronym of the IS terrorist group.
“We continue to call on all the parties to take all necessary measures to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure in line with their obligations under international humanitarian law,” said Haq.
In the case of trying to determine responsibility for casualties from attack, it would be important to have an investigation, he said.

“Da’esh has committed heinous crimes and brought tragedy and death to thousands of men, women, and children. And we want to take this moment to remember the victims and families of victims of terrorism everywhere in the world. And, of course, as you know, the UN system as a whole has been very united in efforts to act against Da’esh. So any successes against them are to be welcomed,” he said.
Al-Qurayshi reportedly detonated a bomb that killed himself and members of his family during the overnight raid by U.S. special operations forces in the town of Atmeh in the northwestern Idlib governorate of Syria. Thirteen people were reportedly killed, including six children and four women.
The United States will deploy additional troops to Europe, the Defense Department announced Wednesday, citing tensions on Ukraine’s borders.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 — The United States will deploy additional troops to Europe, the Defense Department announced Wednesday, citing tensions on Ukraine’s borders. The deployment includes 1,000 troops currently based in Germany to be repositioned to Romania and another 2,000 troops to be sent from the United States to Germany and Poland, John Kirby, the Defense Department’s spokesman, said during a press conference at the Pentagon.
“These are not permanent moves. They are moves designed to respond to the current security environment. Moreover, these forces are not going to fight in Ukraine,” Kirby said.
“These movements are unmistakable signals to the world that we stand ready to reassure our (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) allies and deter and defend against any aggression,” he added.
The United States has already put some 8,500 troops on “heightened alert,” in preparation for what it claimed to be an “imminent” Russian invasion of Ukraine. The measure will enable the troops to be deployed on short notice if NATO decides to activate its rapid response force known as the NRF.
Kirby said the troops being deployed are separate from those put on high alert. They will operate on a bilateral basis with their host countries and will be under U.S. command — not NATO command – since the alliance has yet to activate the NRF.
Repeatedly declining to say whether the deployment was in response to fears that Russia could attack a NATO country, the spokesman said the U.S. troops could be augmented by additional deployments in the coming days or months, noting that other NATO countries – including Britain, France and Denmark – have also moved to shore up the alliance’s eastern flank.
President Joe Biden said Friday he “will be moving U.S. troops to Eastern Europe and the NATO countries in the near term.” The president has maintained that no U.S. forces will be sent directly to Ukraine, which is not a NATO member.
