Last night, Tuesday, I watched a short video containing remarks by the President of the Senate, Faisal Al-Fayez. In this brief video, Al-Fayez said: “The hand that reaches out against the homeland, leadership, army, and security services will be cut off, and the tongue that insults them will be cut out.” He added that the insults and transgressions occurred under the pretense of supporting Gaza.

This harsh statement deeply caught my attention. I decided to read the full text of what Al-Fayez said instead of relying on the edited video clip.
To begin with, I see this statement from Al-Fayez as the highest level of political warning from the state toward the political opposition responsible for such actions. The immediate cause appears to be the chants heard last Friday.

On a deeper level, a pressing question arises: Is Al-Fayez’s statement a continuation of what King Abdullah mentioned two months ago about individuals among us receiving instructions from abroad? The King surely knows who they are but chose not to name them—perhaps waiting for conclusive evidence?

Undoubtedly, the significance of Al-Fayez's warning lies in his official position as President of the Senate, which, in political terminology, is considered the King’s council. This makes the political message stronger and clearer.

Furthermore, Al-Fayez is the only leader among the heads of the three branches of government with tribal and clan roots—social components of the army and all security apparatuses—making him the most appropriate choice for this task.

In the same context, Al-Fayez’s previous statements, even when he was Prime Minister, never reached a quarter of the intensity of his words last Tuesday. Perhaps he possesses information that led him to issue such an unprecedented warning or threat.

It’s also possible that his statements were preemptive, anticipating possible future instructions from foreign entities aiming to undermine Jordan’s internal front from within, thereby weakening the state and forcing it to accept unfavorable deals during critical moments ahead.

In response to Al-Fayez’s remarks—and as a confirmation of the reality of the insults directed at security services—Public Security personnel were described last night as “Zionists” by a female participant during a protest near the Israeli Embassy. This event was held under the banner of protesting the Gaza events.

This was the second protest announced by the "National Forum for the Protection of the Homeland and Support of the Resistance," which includes several opposition political parties, headed by the Islamic Action Front and some leftist parties.

The goal of last night’s protest was to surround the Israeli Embassy in Amman, according to the declared program, to demand its closure and the cancellation of the Wadi Araba peace treaty.

It is worth noting that the third event, as announced, is set for this coming Friday and will involve heading toward the border. If it takes place, it is expected to feature even harsher insults than those made in Rabieh last night. There are indications that the hardline wing of the Forum is seeking confrontations with security personnel at the border to achieve their goals.

In conclusion, the Jordanian state senses that the current threat level is higher than anything it has faced in decades, due to the ongoing consequences of the Palestinian issue and the political ambitions of the Israeli religious right.

As the strength of the Jordanian state lies in its military and security capabilities, along with the rising national awareness of its citizens and the resilience of its internal front, the state remains in constant alert to any violations that could impact its stability and endurance.

Therefore, based on this, those who receive instructions from outside Jordan have only two options: silence and isolation—or facing a harsh fate should they execute those external directives aimed at fracturing Jordan’s internal unity.
