The 54th Anniversary of the Martyrdom of the Founding King Abdullah I Amman – Today marks the 54th anniversary of the martyrdom of the late, by the will of God, His Majesty King Abdullah I bin Al-Hussein, the founding king, who met his Lord as a martyr on the steps of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque while preparing to perform Friday prayers on July 20, 1951. اضافة اعلان King Abdullah I played a pioneering pan-Arab role in the Arab liberation movement, which began to emerge in the early 20th century. He maintained continuous efforts in engaging with intellectual and political leaders, striving for a brighter future for the Arab nation. His Majesty King Abdullah II continues the Hashemite path and the legacy of the founding grandfather, working to strengthen the shared bonds of the Arab world in pursuit of unity, resilience, and a better future. He also upholds the democratic principles laid down by the founder since 1920. History, along with the free people of Jordan and the Arab world, proudly recalls the role of the founding king in safeguarding Jordan from schemes that sought to undermine its Arab identity and freedom, as well as its land and national identity. The late King, may God rest his soul, was the first to lay the foundation of democracy and to advocate for political pluralism during that era. Under his reign, Jordan witnessed the establishment of its first political party—the Arab Independence Party. He was keen on engaging with writers, poets, and intellectuals, discussing with them various matters and issues of national and Arab importance. King Abdullah I, may his soul rest in peace, was a wise leader with keen foresight regarding the threats facing the Arab nation and the challenges it would encounter. When Arab armies rose in defense of their Palestinian brethren, the courageous Jordanian Arab Army was at the forefront, fighting battles of honor, bravery, and sacrifice. They preserved the Arab identity of Jerusalem, whose walls were watered with the blood of Arab Army martyrs who gave their lives defending Palestine and the Holy City of Jerusalem.

Britain, France, Germany to hold Gaza 'emergency call' Friday, says UK PM

Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would hold an "emergency call" Friday with France and Germany on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging a ceasefire and steps towards Palestinian statehood. "I will hold an emergency call with E3 partners tomorrow, where we will discuss what we can do urgently to stop the killing and get people the food they desperately need while pulling together all the steps necessary to build a lasting peace," he said in a statement Thursday. "A ceasefire will put us on a path to the recognition of a Palestinian state and a two-state solution which guarantees peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis."

US envoy says withdrawing from Gaza talks over 'selfish' Hamas position

US envoy Steve Witkoff announced Thursday the recall of his team from Doha for consultations, citing Hamas's response to ceasefire proposals as evidence of the group's alleged unwillingness to reach an agreement on Gaza. 'We've decided to bring our team back from Doha for consultations following Hamas's response, which clearly shows a lack of desire to reach a deal,' Witkoff said. He criticized the Palestinian group for being 'disorganized' and not acting in good faith, despite extensive mediation efforts. 'It's unfortunate that Hamas is behaving so selfishly. They seem uncoordinated and unwilling to demonstrate good intentions, even with the tremendous efforts made by the mediators,' Witkoff stated. He added that the US would now study alternative options to secure the return of Israeli captives and work toward establishing a more stable environment for Gaza's residents.

Netanyahu warns Hamas not to mistake truce efforts for "weakness"

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the Palestinian group Hamas should not view his country's willingness to reach a truce deal in Gaza as a "weakness". "We are working to reach another deal for the release of our hostages. But if Hamas interprets our willingness to reach a deal as weakness, as an opportunity to dictate surrender terms that would endanger the State of Israel, it is gravely mistaken," he said in a speech.
