Transjordan-controlled Radio Ramallah, located in the Arab triangle area, said today that every Arab refugee should be “aware of the fact that King Abdullah is constantly thinking of him and should pay no attention to the propaganda of other Arab states against arrangements between Transjordan and Israel.”

The broadcast charged that the plight of the Palestine Arab refugees is due to the “disastrous leadership of the ex-Mufti of Jerusalem and his gang.” Transjordan is doing everything possible to enable the refugees to return home, but this can be achieved only through negotiations with Israel and constitutes the main point in the present discussions with the Jews, the announcer added.
