Chief of the Royal Hashemite Court Yousef Hassan Al-Issawi affirmed on Saturday that His Majesty King Abdullah II places Jordan’s security, stability, national unity, and the dignity of its citizens at the forefront of national priorities—principles reflected in the Speech from the Throne, which outlined the priorities of the upcoming phase and underscored collective responsibility in protecting the homeland and advancing its development.
Al-Issawi made the remarks during a meeting at the Royal Hashemite Court with a delegation representing the Al-Qudah, Al-Bashabsheh, and Al-Hajaya tribes from the Muhay area in Karak Governorate. Welcoming the delegation, he stressed that under His Majesty’s directives, the Royal Court will remain a home for all Jordanians, keeping channels of communication open with citizens across all regions of the Kingdom.
Standing Firm Against Terrorism and Honoring Martyrs
Reviewing the Royal stances following the terrorist attack on a church in the village of Hamoud in Karak Governorate, Al-Issawi noted His Majesty’s close follow-up of the crime from its very first moments and his chairing of a National Security Council meeting, during which the King affirmed that the safety and security of Jordanians are a red line and that the hand of justice will reach anyone attempting to undermine the nation's security and unity.
He highlighted His Majesty’s visits to check on the injured and offer condolences to the families of the martyrs, alongside the visit of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II to the martyrs' families, where the Crown Prince affirmed that attacking citizens in places of worship is a cowardly and treacherous act targeting Jordan and all Jordanians.
Al-Issawi explained that these stances were echoed in the Speech from the Throne, which His Majesty opened by addressing the terrorist attack—reaffirming the Kingdom's resolve to confront terrorism, stating that the blood of the Karak martyrs remains a sacred trust, and calling for a minute of silence in tribute to their sacrifices. He also noted the special recognition His Majesty accorded in his address to the personnel of the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army and security agencies for their sacrifices in defending the nation and safeguarding its stability.
Addressing the terrorist incident in the capital, Amman, which resulted in the martyrdom of Corporal Jawad Al-Salaytah and the injury of Captain Firas Al-Ananzeh, Al-Issawi pointed to His Majesty’s close follow-up, the participation of His Royal Highness Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein, Regent, in the martyr’s funeral to convey Royal condolences, and his visit to the injured officer. He further noted His Majesty’s reception of Captain Al-Ananzeh—in the presence of HRH the Crown Prince—to confer upon him his new military rank and bestow the Order of Bravery and Rescue of the First Class in recognition of his courage in confronting terrorism and protecting civilians.
Economic Modernization, Rule of Law, and Regional Stances
Al-Issawi emphasized that the Speech from the Throne reflected His Majesty’s confidence in the awareness, wisdom, and cohesion of Jordanians, as well as their capacity to overcome adversity, viewing national unity as the cornerstone of Jordan’s strength and resilience.
Development and Water Security: Al-Issawi noted that His Majesty has placed the citizen’s best interest at the heart of all decisions and policies, directing the continuation of economic modernization and the acceleration of project implementation to generate job opportunities, improve services, and raise living standards, alongside designating water security as a top national priority to ensure resource sustainability.
Rule of Law: He highlighted His Majesty’s affirmation that 'the law knows no name, no position, and no influence,' stressing that public responsibility is measured by achievement and service to citizens, while safeguarding freedom of expression and respect for differing viewpoints in a manner that preserves the dignity of speech and strengthens trust in institutions.
Regional Affairs and Jerusalem: Al-Issawi reviewed Jordan’s steadfast positions on Arab causes, foremost among them the Palestinian cause, reiterating His Majesty’s emphasis that achieving peace and stability requires fulfilling the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and continuing to warn against Israeli aggressions in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem and their dangers to the region. He also underscored His Majesty’s efforts under the Hashemite Custodianship over Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem to protect their Arab identity and historical and legal status, support the steadfastness of Jerusalemites, and counter Israeli violations.
Al-Issawi also pointed to the efforts of HRH the Crown Prince in supporting modernization and development, empowering youth, enhancing their participation in national progress, and translating Royal visions into actionable initiatives that employment and achievement opportunities.
Delegation Pledges Loyalty and Outlines Local Priorities
For their part, the speakers from the Muhay delegation affirmed their unified stand behind the Hashemite leadership and their full support for the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army and security agencies in safeguarding the country, declaring: 'We remain faithful to the pledge as long as we live.'
They expressed pride in His Majesty’s unwavering positions on national, regional, and international issues, praised the attention devoted by His Majesty and HRH the Crown Prince to youth empowerment, and condemned the terrorist attacks in Karak and Amman, praying for the nation's martyrs and emphasizing the role of families in instilling values that counter extremism and protect social cohesion. A poem recited during the meeting expressed the attendees' deep affection and pride in the Hashemite leadership.
During the meeting, the delegation also presented several local developmental and service needs, including:
Expanding youth employment opportunities and reviewing civil service recruitment mechanisms.
Addressing land allocation, residential expansion, utility connections to homes, and housing support for underprivileged families.
Upgrading services at the local health center, improving and lighting roads, and implementing the Military Culture School project.
Calling on the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company to expand its role in employing local residents and serving the community, while addressing damage they reported was caused to agricultural lands by dust drifting from nearby mines.
