[00:03:25] During
[00:03:43] which contributes to raising
[00:03:56] what is the impact of these violations on a specialized forum that discussed
[00:04:15] resources, and openness to
[00:04:23] Come to
[00:04:47] a joint press conference with the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:04:51] and International Cooperation and Expatriates, Dr. Badr
[00:04:55] Abdul Attia, and the Palestinian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates,

[00:05:00] restricting Aghbakian Shahin, after the end of the ministerial meeting to support Jerusalem
[00:05:05] a number of issues of common and its holy places, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
[00:05:07] of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi affirmed that Jerusalem
[00:05:11] faces a growing danger manifested in settlement
[00:05:14] and confiscation of lands and siege of the right to worship
[00:05:18] for Muslims and Christians. Safadi reiterated
[00:05:21] that Jerusalem is an occupied city and that
[00:05:25] Israel has no sovereignty over it.
[00:05:28] Jerusalem is an occupied
[00:05:31] city
[00:05:34] and Israel has no sovereignty over it,
[00:05:37] and therefore there is no legitimacy
[00:05:42] it takes in it. Jerusalem faces
[00:05:45] a growing danger
[00:05:50] the expanding settlement,
[00:05:53] the continuing confiscation of lands,
[00:05:57] and the siege of the right to worship for Muslims
[00:06:00] and Christians,
[00:06:03] reaching their places of worship,
[00:06:07] whether Muslims or Christians, and also
[00:06:10] in what we see of a systematic
[00:06:13] policy to change the Islamic
[00:06:17] identity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Noble Sanctuary.
[00:06:21] These measures
[00:06:23] are all taking place amidst
[00:06:26] a broader Israeli policy
[00:06:30] aimed at solidifying the occupation
[00:06:33] of all occupied Palestinian territory.
[00:06:37] For his part, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Expatriates,
[00:06:40] Dr. Badr Abdel Attia, affirmed that there is an Arab
[00:06:44] and Islamic consensus on taking specific
[00:06:47] measures regarding Israeli violations,
[00:06:50] included in the final statement of the ministerial meeting, in addition to
[00:06:54] coordination within the framework of the group and the eight-member committee for collective
[00:06:57] action with all regional and international
[00:07:00] concerned parties.
[00:07:03] any doubt, that there is an Arab-Islamic
[00:07:06] consensus on the necessity of not only
[00:07:10] condemning, but also taking
[00:07:13] specific measures, and you have seen them in the final
[00:07:17] statement. There are specific measures, and there is also
[00:07:20] coordination within the framework of the group and the eight-member committee
[00:07:24] for collective action with all
[00:07:27] regional and international
[00:07:30] the grave danger of Israeli
[00:07:34] actions and daily
[00:07:38] in East Jerusalem and, as mentioned, in the West Bank
[00:07:41] and the violence and terrorism
[00:07:44] of settlers against unarmed civilians in the West
[00:07:48] Bank, and also the inhumane practices
[00:07:51] in the Gaza Strip, including, of course, the unwarranted
[00:07:55] killings that the last
[00:07:58] two days. For her part, the Palestinian
[00:08:02] Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Dr. Faris
[00:08:07] meeting came amid difficult regional conditions that cast
[00:08:10] their shadow on the Palestinian issue, pointing out that the issue of Jerusalem
[00:08:14] remains the core issue and the greatest threat to security,
[00:08:17] peace, and stability in
[00:08:22] meeting confirmed for the umpteenth time
[00:08:25] the centrality of Jerusalem, but it took a step forward, not a step
[00:08:29] back, in the necessity of taking tangible
[00:08:32] measures on the ground so that the Jerusalemite feels
[00:08:36] that these meetings, despite their importance and their condemnation
[00:08:39] and denunciation of what is happening,
[00:08:43] there is something towards solidifying the holy site on
[00:08:46] its land. So there were three main axes that were agreed
[00:08:50] upon and were discussed during the discussions of most
[00:08:53] speakers. First, exposing
[00:08:56] violations. Of course, Israel is exposed
[00:08:59] today, but we want to expose these violations and convey them to all parts
[00:09:03] of the world, and more importantly than exposing the violations, to say
[00:09:08] the Palestinian people and on the future of the Palestinian people.
[00:09:12] The second part is strengthening steadfastness, and the third part is international
[00:09:16] action towards
[00:09:19] what Jerusalem needs today.
[00:09:21] The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:09:25] and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Safadi, had affirmed in his
[00:09:28] speech during the ministerial meeting to support Jerusalem and its holy
[00:09:31] places that the Israeli government is implementing
[00:09:34] its illegal measures in Jerusalem and its holy sites within the framework
[00:09:38] of a general policy to solidify the occupation in the West Bank
[00:09:42] and the two-state solution, for which there is no alternative, and for which there is no alternative
[00:09:46] but a just peace.
[00:09:50] Jerusalem is in increasing danger,
[00:09:53] and its Islamic
[00:09:56] and Christian holy sites are threatened as they have never
[00:10:00] been before. Israel is solidifying
[00:10:03] its illegal occupation of East Jerusalem, building
[00:10:07] settlements, annexing lands, confiscating
[00:10:10] properties, and
[00:10:13] Jerusalemites, separating Jerusalem from the rest
[00:10:16] of the occupied Palestinian territory, implementing
[00:10:20] a plan that targets the city's
[00:10:23] identity, history, present,
[00:10:27] and future.
[00:10:29] Israel violates the sanctity of Islamic and Christian
[00:10:33] holy sites and besieges the freedom
[00:10:37] of worship for Muslims and Christians.
[00:10:40] Christian clerics suffer from the barbarism
[00:10:44] of extremism, and churches resist
[00:10:46] attempts to seize their funds
[00:10:49] and lands through illegal laws
[00:10:51] enacted by Israel in violation of international
[00:10:55] law, which states unequivocally
[00:10:58] that an occupier has no sovereignty over occupied
[00:11:01] territory.
[00:11:04] Provocative Israeli policies target the blessed
[00:11:07] Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Noble Sanctuary,
[00:11:10] with systematic, unprecedented attacks
[00:11:14] that are increasing in quantity, quality, and reckless
[00:11:17] arrogance, attempting to undermine its Islamic
[00:11:20] identity and change
[00:11:24] the blessed Mosque, which in its entirety
[00:11:27] is a pure place of worship
[00:11:30] for Muslims. The Israeli government is implementing
[00:11:35] Jerusalem and its holy sites
[00:11:38] as part of a general policy to solidify the occupation in the West
[00:11:41] Bank and kill the two-state solution, for which there is no alternative
[00:11:45] path to achieve a just peace.
[00:11:49] It is pushing the West Bank towards
[00:11:52] an explosion, violating the ceasefire agreement in Gaza,
[00:11:56] and hindering the implementation of the US President's plan
[00:12:00] the Strip. Deputy Prime Minister
[00:12:04] and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi
[00:12:07] called on the international community to act decisively
[00:12:11] and clearly to stop Israeli violations in Jerusalem
[00:12:14] and its holy sites, and to end the policies that entrench
[00:12:17] the occupation in the West Bank and kill the hope for
[00:12:21] a just peace, adding that sovereignty over Jerusalem is
[00:12:24] Palestinian, and custodianship over Islamic
[00:12:27] and Christian holy sites is Hashemite, and that protecting Jerusalem
[00:12:30] and its holy sites is an Arab,
[00:12:33] Islamic, and international responsibility. We call
[00:12:36] on the international community to act before it is too late
[00:12:39] for Jerusalem, with its special status among the three monotheistic
[00:12:43] religions, to be a city of harmony
[00:12:46] and a gateway to peace, as it should
[00:12:49] be, not a place of oppression and injustice
[00:12:52] as the occupation has made it. Dear
[00:12:56] colleagues, we meet today to express our
[00:12:59] unified vision and firm stance in
[00:13:03] confronting the danger facing Jerusalem and its holy sites,
[00:13:06] to work to confront it, including through joint action
[00:13:10] and collective steps to expose Israeli
[00:13:14] escalatory and provocative practices, and to clarify
[00:13:17] their danger and mobilize an effective international stance to stop them
[00:13:21] and work to achieve a just peace,
[00:13:25] under which the independent Palestinian state
[00:13:27] and Israel live side by side
[00:13:31] in security and stability.
[00:13:35] Jerusalem is Palestinian, and custodianship over
[00:13:38] its Islamic and Christian holy sites is Hashemite.
[00:13:41] However, protecting Jerusalem and its holy sites is an Arab,
[00:13:45] Islamic, and international
[00:13:47] responsibility.
[00:14:01] The Head of the Hashemite Royal Court, Yousef Al-Issawi,
[00:14:05] sponsored the celebration organized by the National Development
[00:14:08] Party in the Great Irbid Municipality Hall on the occasion of the 27th
[00:14:12] Royal Accession Day, the Arab Army Day, and the anniversary of the Great
[00:14:16] Arab Revolt, in the presence of official, political,
[00:14:19] and party figures and popular activities from all over
[00:14:23] the Kingdom. The ceremony included
[00:14:25] patriotic speeches, poetry readings, and artistic
[00:14:29] performances that embodied the meanings of loyalty, belonging,
[00:14:31] and pride in the Hashemite leadership. The activities concluded
[00:14:34] with the Royal Anthem. The Secretary-General of the Party, Dr.
[00:14:38] Nazem Al-Ababneh, affirmed that the celebration of these national occasions
[00:14:42] embodies the meanings of pride and honor in the homeland and the Hashemite
[00:14:45] leadership, pointing out that the Royal Accession Day, Army Day,
[00:14:48] and the anniversary of the Great Arab Revolt represent
[00:14:52] immortal national milestones that recall
[00:14:55] the march of achievement and giving led by His Majesty
[00:14:58] the King.
[00:15:03] The Chief of Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Major General Yusuf
[00:15:07] Al-Hunaiti, and the Commander of the German Joint Forces
[00:15:10] discussed issues of common interest in various military
[00:15:13] and defense fields.
[00:15:16] The Chief of Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Major General
[00:15:20] Youssef Ahmed Al-Hunaiti, received today the Commander of the German Joint
[00:15:23] Forces, Lieutenant General Alexander Solfrank, and his accompanying
[00:15:27] delegation. The two sides discussed
[00:15:30] interest in various military
[00:15:33] and defense fields that connect the two
[00:15:36] friendly countries, in addition to the latest developments
[00:15:40] and developments on the regional and international arenas. The meeting was attended
[00:15:43] by a number of senior officers of the Jordanian Armed
[00:15:47] Forces and the German Defense Attaché in
[00:15:50] Amman.
[00:15:52] Minister of Culture, Mustafa Al-Rawashdeh, said that the Jordanian
[00:15:56] narrative is a natural treasure, and we seek to highlight
[00:15:59] all that is great about Jordan, its history,
[00:16:02] giving, culture, heritage, and people.
[00:16:06] Al-Rawashdeh affirmed, during a cultural event
[00:16:09] organized by the Forum and the Zee
[00:16:12] Cultural Forum, under the title "The Jordanian Narrative: Prospects
[00:16:15] and Aspirations," that documenting the Jordanian narrative is a national
[00:16:19] necessity for future generations, in parallel with
[00:16:23] in books and magazines. He explained that Jordan is considered
[00:16:29] historical civilizations, which requires documenting its history since
[00:16:33] 1921. This
[00:16:36] topic discusses the motives
[00:16:40] and reasons and the importance of documenting our narrative.
[00:16:43] Many papers were presented by
[00:16:47] university professors specializing in these
[00:16:50] aspects. On this occasion, I address
[00:16:53] my people in the city of Salt, and in Zee
[00:16:56] and Allon, and the Zee Forum and the Allon Forum for this
[00:17:00] invitation. We consider them to be very important cultural
[00:17:03] incubators on our national scene. The importance of this topic
[00:17:07] lies in documenting the cultural heritage
[00:17:10] and also in strengthening the national identity,
[00:17:12] and also
[00:17:15] in consolidating Jordan's position
[00:17:18] and consolidating
[00:17:20] the concept of a comprehensive national narrative in the minds of citizens.
[00:17:24] The national narrative is not only a mere narration of history,
[00:17:27] but it is also
[00:17:30] a system of values,
[00:17:33] Today we talked about the importance of the Jordanian
[00:17:36] narrative, and we talk from an academic perspective about documenting the Jordanian
[00:17:40] narrative, and governing the Jordanian narrative, and using the Jordanian
[00:17:44] narrative in building the English and Arabic history
[00:17:47] in general, and spreading awareness of the collective
[00:17:50] memory and the Jordanian story, because
[00:17:53] this is in the Quran, the Surah of Stories
[00:17:56] was revealed, so imagine that you see a story that
[00:18:00] we document this story so that it is told to generations

[00:20:13] I believe we worked on the framework document
[00:20:17] through a letter addressed to me, Your Excellency the Prime Minister,
[00:20:21] three years ago. All studies have been prepared. Now,
[00:20:24] it only remains to designate locations
[00:20:28] for this construction waste. The exhibition
[00:20:31] reflects Jordan's position as a regional center for specialized
[00:20:34] exhibitions and conferences, and contributes to supporting the national
[00:20:37] economy, attracting investments, and enhancing
[00:20:40] the competitiveness of the building and construction sector, in line with

[00:21:08] seminar organized by the Jordanian National Youth Dialogue Forum
[00:21:12] in cooperation with the Change Party that the government decided, since the dissolution
[00:21:15] of the municipal and provincial councils, to refer the law to
[00:21:19] the House of Representatives, where the administrative committee began discussing
[00:21:22] the law before obtaining the approval of the council to refer it
[00:21:25] to the administrative

[00:22:14] of Representatives to reach fundamental amendments to
[00:22:18] the draft law to improve its provisions. Regarding the controversial
[00:22:21] articles, the discussion also focused on enhancing
[00:22:25] the participation of youth and women through setting quotas within the law
[00:22:29] for appointment, whether for appointment to provincial councils or
[00:22:32] through election by the municipal council, so that there is a percentage
[00:22:36] of women and youth within these councils.

[00:29:16] survey study for Ma'an governorate on unemployment to be
[00:29:20] a database for official bodies that wish
[00:29:22] to find solutions to this
[00:29:25] problem. Unemployment is not just
[00:29:29] numbers and statistics, but an economic
[00:29:32] and social challenge that affects the lives of individuals and society.
[00:29:36] From here, the Economic and Social Council presents
[00:29:39] a specialized study that highlights the reality
[00:29:43] of unemployment in Ma'an governorate and seeks solutions
[00:29:46] based on reality
[00:29:48] and data.
[00:29:51] The study relied on analyzing official data, in addition
[00:29:54] to fieldwork that included meetings with official
[00:29:58] institutions, employers, young men and women
[00:30:01] from different areas of the governorate,
[00:30:05] with the aim of identifying the most prominent challenges
[00:30:08] facing the labor market. The results of the study
[00:30:11] unfortunately showed that Ma'an governorate has the highest
[00:30:14] unemployment rate among its sister governorates in the Kingdom.
[00:30:17] For females in Ma'an governorate, the unemployment
[00:30:21] rate is 32%, and for males,
[00:30:23] it is 28%. The outcomes of this
[00:30:26] study actually focused on field interviews,
[00:30:30] and this study came out realistically from the ground
[00:30:34] and in the field. The most important things I saw
[00:30:37] in this study and that need to be worked on more
[00:30:41] through the council or the concerned authorities
[00:30:44] are the high unemployment rate for females,
[00:30:48] with an average of about 32% compared
[00:30:51] to other governorates, and also the high unemployment rate for young
[00:30:55] males, not just for females. This study that was
[00:30:59] launched today in
