King of Jordan: No place for terrorists among us

Jordanian King Abdullah II emphasized that “there is no place for terrorists among us, neither today nor tomorrow,” affirming that Jordan will remain impervious to terrorism and will not allow any party to threaten its national unity or undermine its security and stability. Speaking during the opening of the twentieth ordinary session of the National Assembly, he added that the blood of the martyrs of Karak would remain a debt on the shoulders of Jordanians, in reference to the terrorist attack that targeted a church in Karak Governorate, which resulted in casualties. He reaffirmed the kingdom’s commitment to national unity and its resolute stance against terrorism.

On foreign affairs, the King stressed that Israel’s expansionist ambitions pose the greatest threat to the security of the region and its peoples, underscoring that peace and stability in the Middle East cannot be achieved without fulfilling the Palestinian people’s rights to their land. King Abdullah II stated that there is no path to peace and stability in the region without guaranteeing the Palestinians’ right to their land, emphasizing the necessity of ending the conflict and addressing its root causes in a manner that ensures the rights of the Palestinian people. He added, “Despite international calls to halt Israeli violations, the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip continues, and attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem persist.”
