Palestinian Ambassador Praises Jordan's Efforts in Delivering Aid to Gaza - Jordan News
The Palestinian Ambassador to Amman, Attallah Khairy, praised the steadfast efforts of Jordan—made under direct royal directives—to deliver the largest possible quantities of aid to the besieged Gaza Strip. اضافة اعلان In a statement to the Jordan News Agency (Petra) on Sunday, Khairy emphasized that His Majesty King Abdullah II has been tirelessly working on regional and international levels to stop the Israeli military aggression against Gaza and end the brutal war targeting the Palestinian people. He also noted the King's relentless efforts to open all possible land, sea, and air routes to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian population suffering from what he described as an unprecedented man-made famine. Khairy highlighted that Jordan, under King Abdullah's leadership, is leveraging its strong relations with the United States, European nations, and others across the world to seek an end to the Israeli aggression and apply pressure on the occupation to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. He warned that over two million Palestinians—including more than 100,000 children—face a slow, real death if the Israeli siege continues and humanitarian aid is obstructed. He warned that time is running out, and the lives of Gaza's residents, already devastated by hunger, illness, and nearly two years of war, are increasingly at risk. Khairy commended Jordan's continued delivery of aid by land and air, which helps alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza by providing them with the bare necessities of life denied due to the blockade. He stated, 'If Jordan were allowed to send 1,000 aid trucks to Gaza, it would do so gladly and without hesitation. The main obstacle lies with the Israeli occupation, which continues to block and hinder the delivery of aid to the people of Gaza.' The ambassador stressed that Jordan works around the clock on political, diplomatic, and legal fronts with its Arab and international partners and institutions to end the Israeli assault and reach a comprehensive solution for Gaza and the broader Palestinian cause—based on the two-state solution as the only guarantee for peace and stability in the region. He affirmed that Jordan's support for the Palestinian people is not limited to one area, noting the Kingdom has continuously extended assistance to the residents of Gaza for many years. Jordan, he said, took the initiative to deploy field hospitals—still operating today and providing medical services to hundreds of thousands. It also dispatched mobile bakeries that produce tens of thousands of loaves of bread daily and distribute them directly to the public, in addition to organizing air and land humanitarian aid convoys. Khairy also deeply appreciated His Majesty's royal gesture of hosting hundreds of injured Gazans of all ages for treatment in Jordanian hospitals, providing them and their companions with high-quality care and a warm, dignified reception. He conveyed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the Palestinian people and leadership to His Majesty the King, the Jordanian government, and the Jordanian people, affirming that Jordan has always stood firmly by Palestine in the darkest and most difficult times. 'Jordan,' he concluded, 'remains the closest, most loyal, and most committed supporter of Palestine, its people, and its cause.'

Jordanian authorities continue legal actions against Muslim Brotherhood-linked firms: state media
Jordanian authorities are continuing legal proceedings against a number of organizations and companies linked to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group, a source told the Jordan News Agency (Petra). The source said an information security company connected to the banned group failed to declare its beneficial owner, in violation of the law, and committed other offenses. This prompted the General Controller of Companies to refer the company to the Public Prosecutor's Office. In a separate action, the Department of Companies Control has requested that the State's Attorney-General forcibly liquidate Dar Al Sabeel for Press and Distribution company. This request was made because the company's losses have reached double its capital. It also failed to disclose its beneficial owner, pay its full capital, and submit annual financial statements. Additionally, an association in the Ain Al-Basha area decided to dissolve itself.
