The reality shows that the world around Jordan is ablaze. Our recent past demonstrates that Jordan is one of the few countries that has emerged unscathed from the major strife that swept the region, particularly since the outbreak of what was termed the "Arab Spring." It later became clear that hidden hands ignited it under appealing banners like change for the better, freedom, and dignified living, only to reveal that the plan was cooked up by malevolent forces that sought nothing but destruction for the region to consolidate their power and deepen their sinister agendas.
Yes, Jordan survived, but there was a significant secret behind that survival—a "mystery" that sets this country apart from others. At every critical juncture, Jordanians instinctively turn to a solution that has puzzled both friends and foes: "national unity." Every Jordanian believes this unity is their ultimate refuge, with the broader theme being immediate rallying behind the Hashemite leadership and its captain, His Majesty King Abdullah II. The people find security and reassurance in his wisdom and long-sightedness. His leadership, deeply rooted in history, has guided Jordan through every turbulent period, steering the country safely, even as the world, not just the region, was shaken. Each time, we emerged stronger.
History is now repeating itself. The nation's ship sails securely and confidently despite the raging waves around us. Our captain navigates through stormy seas, focused solely on Jordan, its people, their interests, and their safety. At the same time, he extends a helping hand to any of our brethren in need. Palestine, particularly Gaza, remains a central focus of the King's diplomacy, as he strives to stop the bloodshed of our brothers and help them achieve their dreams of freedom and dignity.
Over the past months, we have engaged in a broad national discussion about the events unfolding around us, especially in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon. His Majesty has reaffirmed Jordan's unwavering support for Lebanon. Amid these discussions, Jordanians only need to remember that our inclusive national unity is the boundary for all. It is the line at which all debates cease. Our unity, resilience, and protection of our homeland are non-negotiable—they are constants, a large tent under which we all shelter. So let us put aside everything for now. This is a critical and decisive phase in the history of our region. Let us hold tightly to our national unity, allowing this moment, despite its difficulty, to become another chapter we safely pass through. Just as our ancestors overcame even more challenging times, let this moment be immortalized in the nation's story.
In conclusion, our national unity is the rock upon which strife and conspiracies have always shattered. It is our sole guarantee that we remain the most cohesive and resilient, despite the hopes and dreams of many who wish otherwise—people whose dreams we have repeatedly turned into nightmares.
