Ammon - Senator Hussein Hazza Al-Majali emphasized that resistance should be in the trenches, not in five-star hotels.

During his appearance on the "High Tension" program on Al-Mashhad TV, hosted by Tony Khalifa, Majali commented on Khaled Mashal's call for Jordanians, stating that anyone who wishes to resist must take up arms. He added that it's not possible to call for resistance in any country while sitting down for discussions. His remarks were directed at anyone trying to guilt Jordanians into resistance.

He explained that those who incite resistance should be in the trenches, not in five or six-star hotels.

In response to claims that Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated by Israel, Majali said after offering prayers for him, "Was Ismail Haniyeh assassinated in Rafah, or in northern Gaza, or Nablus, or Tulkarm? He was not assassinated like the rest of the resistance who did not try to ignite the Jordanian street."

He continued, citing a Jordanian proverb: "Those under the sticks are not like those after them," indicating that any forces calling themselves resistance are trying to drag everyone into military action to support them.

Regarding the Islamic Action Front Party gaining a significant number of seats in the parliamentary elections, Majali noted that this is not the first time the Islamic current has secured a large number of seats, recalling the 1989 parliament.

He added that Jordan is used to the Islamic Action Front being a parliamentary bloc, and they won through two routes: party lists and local lists.

Majali clarified that the parliament does not revolve around the 31 seats of the Muslim Brotherhood but consists of 138 seats. "Unfortunately, sometimes we a monster and fear it," but the Muslim Brotherhood is a Jordanian group rooted in society, whether one agrees with them or not. They gained their seats through the ballot box, and they were not imposed upon us.

Majali disagreed with the analysis that events in Gaza and the West Bank will not affect Jordanian elections, stating that this is a very wrong assessment. Since October 7th, it has been clear that what is happening in Palestine will impact Jordan's elections. However, His Majesty the King, despite being aware of this, instructed the government to set election dates because the democratic party experience is more important than the consequences.

Majali affirmed that Jordan is a rock in a volatile region, and that God has blessed the country with leadership that possesses religious, historical, and achievement-based legitimacy, considering itself part of the people, not above them.
