Amman, August 05, SPA -- Jordanian King Abdullah II said Tuesday his country would continue to support the right of Palestinian refugees to return to homes that they fled upon Israel's creation in 1948. "Our adherence to the refugees' right of return and compensations is a firm attitude that cannot be changed," the monarch said in a meeting with army commanders. "I have followed up what has been said about the refugees issue,which is regrettable. Our attitude towards the refugees issue willnot change, and our adherence to their right of return andreparations is firm and unquestionable," King Abdullah was quoted as saying by the German News Agency "DPA." Resolution 194, adopted by the UN General Assembly in December 1948, six months after Israel's creation, called for the return of Palestinian refugees to their homes and payment of compensation for those who choose not to return.
