A Cypriot secretary announced on Thursday that Cyprus would provide money to Palestinian families seeking refuge in their homeland and allow major income earners to work there for up to three years as part of a volunteer repatriation program. According to deputy minister for movement Nicholas Ioannides, a family must meet the requirements for being eligible for the program by refusing to accept asylum or revoke global protection status established before December 31, 2024. Ioannides explained that families who voluntarily return will be given a one-time sum of 2, 000 euros ($ 2, 255 ) for one adult and 1, 000 euros ($ 1, 128 ) for each child. Additionally, unmarried people are qualified to apply. The deadline for applications is June 2 through August 31. Moreover, the parents and mothers will receive a unique residency and work permit, which will allow them to reside in Cyprus for a minimum of two years with the option of a second year, depending on their main income. According to Ioannides, many Syrians have expressed their willingness to go back and aid in their nation’s reconstruction, but they are afraid to do so because of the confusion surrounding where they’ll be able to make a living wage. The project’s premise, according to the mind of Cyprus ‘ Asylum Service, is to assist people in overcoming any like reluctance by providing them with a small nest egg to use to provide for their urgent needs while allowing the primary income earner to maintain working and sending money to his family. While the person’s internship and work permit are current, the person who earns money can go back and forth to Syria. By way, SYRIA is the country’s top-ranked population of asylum seekers. 4, 226 Syria applied for prison last year, or about 10 times as many as Afghans, who are the second-largest group, according to Asylum Service figures. According to Ioannides,” This new system is a qualified, compassionate, and practical policy that supports Syria’s post-war transition to normality,” according to the commissioner’s office for international affairs, Magnus Brunner. Ioannides once more made it clear that a 2009 Search and Rescue arrangement between Cyprus and Syria allows Cyprusi authorities to give up boatloads of Syrian refugees trying to reach the island nation after they have been rescued in international waters. After being rescued when they transmitted that they were in danger, Ioannides claimed that two inflatable boats each loaded with 30 Syrian refugees were turned up in accordance with the diplomatic deal. Despite the demands of the UN refugee agency and Europe’s leading human rights organization, Ioannis once more said that Cyprus participates in pushbacks.
