Allaf calls for international support to Palestinians at UN session New York (Petra) - Jordan’s Ambassador to the United Nations Mohammad Allaf urged the international community to intensify its efforts to push the Middle East peace process forward. Addressing the UN Security Council in a session last week, Allaf said the Palestinian cause is the core issue in the Middle East, adding that the region will witness another cycle of violence unless a just solution is reached for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The Arab Peace Initiative provides a historic opportunity to achieve a just, comprehensive and permanent solution to this conflict, and forms a basis for peace, said Allaf. He also voiced the Kingdom’s concern about the deteriorating economic and humanitarian situation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
