Amman, August 17 (Petra) - A delegation from the Karama and Wafaa Youth Authority visited the Royal Committee for Jerusalem Affairs on Monday to enhance institutional cooperation and empower youth in national affairs.

Youth play a "critical role" in raising awareness about Palestine, according to Committee Secretary-General Abdullah Kanaan. He said that Jordan's duty to defend Jerusalem stems from a nationwide history of sacrifice, backed by the historic Hashemite Custodianship over its Islamic and Christian holy sites.

Kanaan discussed how the committee uses media and education to fight online misinformation, noting that modern digital platforms demand active youth involvement.

Representatives from the Karama and Wafaa Youth Authority, an independent, volunteer-led group, presented their initiatives aimed at boosting youth political and civic participation.

Both sides discussed joint programs to boost youth awareness and civic identity before concluding the visit with a committee-produced documentary detailing the history of the Hashemite Custodianship in safeguarding Jerusalem’s holy sites.
