The two brotherly countries also thank the United Arab Emirates and the People’s Republic of China for their adoption and support of the joint Palestinian-Jordanian request.

The Ministry expresses its absolute rejection of the misleading narrative of the colonial occupation authority that came from its representative in the United Nations, and believes that it is a clear attempt against the international system, in order to delegitimize the international body that granted it legitimacy. And calls on the countries of the world to reject this false narrative.
