Safadi: Jordan Will Not Stop Supporting Our People in Gaza - Jordan News
Speaker of the Jordanian House of Representatives, Ahmad Safadi, declared that the world is silently witnessing some of the most horrific crimes in history—killings and starvation in Gaza—that expose the brutal face of the occupying power and violate all principles of humanity and international law. اضافة اعلان His remarks came on Monday during his sponsorship of a workshop titled "Legal Frameworks for Climate Change and the Energy Transition in Jordan", organized by the Jordanian Masarat Center for Development and Progress. Safadi emphasized that Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, will remain firmly aligned with the Palestinian cause and will continue its support in delivering aid to the people of Gaza. He affirmed Jordan's commitment to intensifying efforts to stop the war and its rejection of any unilateral actions in the West Bank, warning that continued aggression could drag the region into chaos. On the workshop's climate-related themes, Safadi said that Jordan, under royal leadership, is committed to a clear vision for a greener future, affirming that legislation is the cornerstone of this transition. Parliament, he noted, is responsible for developing laws that meet evolving climate needs and serve future generations. He pointed out that climate change is a tangible reality that impacts natural resources, food and water security, public health, and the national economy. It increases pressure on essential resources—especially water and energy—which are critical sectors for a country like Jordan that faces complex environmental and economic challenges. Despite limited resources, he stated, Jordan has always been at the forefront of adopting a balanced and participatory approach to climate and energy issues. He added that transitioning in the energy sector is not just about moving from traditional to clean energy sources, but also about creating a comprehensive legislative system that encourages investment, provides incentives, ensures fairness, and achieves both energy and economic security. Safadi stressed the need to strengthen cooperation between the legislative and executive branches, and highlighted the importance of involving civil society, the private sector, universities, and research institutions to ensure realistic and actionable policy-making. He concluded by affirming that tackling climate change requires more than policies and intentions—it demands clear, flexible, and enforceable legislation that includes incentives and engages all sectors of society, especially youth and women. For his part, Talal Ghunaimat, Executive Director of the Jordanian Masarat Foundation, said that climate change is now closely linked to development crises and social justice, placing a greater responsibility on parliamentarians to understand these challenges and craft solutions rooted in human rights and dignity for vulnerable communities. Ghunaimat added that climate justice requires bold parliamentary discourse that challenges unfair policies and proposes empowering, equitable alternatives. A truly fair environmental future, he stressed, can only be achieved through effective political and social partnerships. Meanwhile, Dina Kasbi, Program Director at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, stated that climate change has evolved into both a humanitarian and political issue, calling for an integrated legislative response. She added that strengthening the ability of parliamentarians to analyze environmental policies is one of the foundation's key areas of work, as it plays a crucial role in drafting just, responsive legislation. At the close of the first day of the workshop, Ghunaimat expressed gratitude to Speaker Safadi for his support, stating that the path to real environmental transformation does not lie in conferences or slogans alone—but in institutional action and partnerships with international allies, all in the pursuit of a future that leaves no one behind.
