RECONSTRUCTION OF NAHR AL-BARID REFUGEE CAMP - JORDAN
DEMARCHE DELIVERED
REF: STATE 60216
Classified By: Ambassador David Hale
for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (SBU) POLOFF delivered reftel demarche to Jamal
Shamaylah, Director of the FM's Private Office on June 9.
Shamaylah confirmed that FM Salah Al-Bashir will attend the
June 23 conference in conjunction with a trip to Berlin for a
similar conference on Palestinian refugees. The FM was
similarly demarched by a joint EU delegation on the
importance of the conference earlier in the week.
2. (SBU) On the subject of financial assistance, Shamaylah
confirmed that Jordan's current budgetary situation will not
permit a contribution. Shamaylah did leave open the
possibility of technical assistance, however. He called the
reconstruction of the camp a "Lebanese sovereignty issue,"
and indicated that Jordan would tread lightly on such a
sensitive issue.
3. (C) Jordanian officials provided then-LAF commander
Sleiman a list of items Jordan would be prepared to give the
LAF from the JAF's inventory during Sleiman's visit to Jordan
earlier this year. JAF CHOD Sarayreh recently confirmed to
us that Sleiman never got back to him.
