[00:02:19] that the committee approved a number and denunciation in the strongest terms of the continuous Israeli violations
[00:02:21] in the Gaza Strip, especially the targeting of health facilities
[00:02:25] and institutions, the assault on civilian infrastructure, and the continued
[00:02:28] fall of civilian victims, including women and children, in a grave
[00:02:32] violation of international law, including
[00:02:35] dinars as traded in international humanitarian law. The foreign ministers affirmed in a joint

[00:02:41] and regional efforts aimed at implementing the second phase of
[00:02:46] to enhance the logistics system the comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza, especially after
[00:02:48] US President Donald Trump announced the Palestinian factions' acceptance
[00:02:52] of the roadmap. The ministers also stressed that the continuous Israeli violations
[00:02:56] in the Gaza Strip cannot
[00:02:59] in Ajloun Governorate, in the presence of the Governor be viewed in isolation from the attacks committed by settlers in
[00:03:02] those destined for sisterly countries, stage, emphasizing the occupied West Bank, illegal settlement expansion,
[00:03:05] and the marginalization of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people in
[00:03:08] flagrant violation of international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.
[00:03:15] Mafraq Governorate has taken a package
[00:03:20] and effort required to obtain
[00:03:22] to citizens in vital and important blockade. In
[00:03:32] Mafraq Governorate has taken a package
[00:03:42] their aspirations. This with refrigerated
[00:03:46] continuously from
[00:03:55] to end the crisis while
[00:04:10] measures come in parallel
[00:04:13] Amidst a diplomatic movement led by Jordan to support the Palestinian
[00:04:16] cause, and an uninterrupted escalation in the West Bank,
[00:04:19] and a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip,
[00:04:22] political efforts continue to confront a reality that is becoming
[00:04:26] more complex day by day in the Palestinian territories. Let's follow.
[00:04:31] The meeting of the Arab-Islamic
[00:04:34] which placed a heavy burden Ministerial Committee, which was hosted by Jordan, constituted a diplomatic
[00:04:38] This station
[00:04:38] sanctions on a number of entities that brought the Palestinian issue back to the forefront of international
[00:04:42] time, they can get attention after weeks during which regional crises and military developments
[00:04:46] in the region dominated
[00:04:48] and this is the beautiful the political scene. The Jordanian call came at
[00:04:52] a time when Israeli violations continue in
[00:04:55] the occupied Palestinian territories, including settlement
[00:04:58] expansion and increased incursions into Al-Aqsa
[00:05:01] Mosque, and settler attacks on Palestinians
[00:05:04] amidst repeated Jordanian
[00:05:08] of the Iranian role in warnings about the danger of these policies to the security
[00:05:11] and stability of the region, and an emphasis on the necessity
[00:05:15] of stopping the war, ensuring the delivery of humanitarian
[00:05:19] aid, and launching a political horizon that leads to
[00:05:22] the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
[00:05:26] movement coincides with
[00:05:30] the West Bank, where Israeli occupation forces
[00:05:33] continue for the second consecutive day
[00:05:37] their military operations in Qalandia refugee camp north of
[00:05:40] Jerusalem, which resulted, according to the Palestinian
[00:05:43] Red Crescent, in the injury of 10 Palestinians after
[00:05:46] widespread incursions accompanied by raids
[00:05:49] on homes and a heavy deployment
[00:05:53] of military vehicles and tightened
[00:05:55] field measures. The incursions extended to
[00:05:59] Nablus Governorate, where the occupation forces arrested
[00:06:02] four Palestinians, including a woman,
[00:06:05] during search operations that affected several
[00:06:08] towns and villages in the context of a continuous
[00:06:11] military campaign witnessed by cities
[00:06:14] and refugee camps in the West Bank. As for the Gaza
[00:06:18] Strip, the difficult humanitarian and living
[00:06:21] conditions continue after
[00:06:25] the announced agreement, amidst continued Israeli
[00:06:28] violations and assassination operations that keep
[00:06:32] the Strip under a fragile security situation
[00:06:35] and undermine the chances of consolidating the truce.
[00:06:39] The suffering of the residents intensified with the continued closure of crossings,
[00:06:42] the rise in prices of basic goods, and the scarcity of
[00:06:45] supplies, at a time when patients face increasing
[00:06:48] difficulties due to the disruption of medical
[00:06:52] referrals, in addition to the worsening water crisis and the decline in basic
[00:06:56] services, in a scene that reflects the widening
[00:06:59] gap between the announced understandings
[00:07:02] and the daily reality lived by more than two million
[00:07:06] the Strip. Amidst a diplomatic movement led by Arab
[00:07:10] and Islamic countries to regain momentum for the Palestinian cause,
[00:07:13] and an escalating
[00:07:17] the West Bank, and a worsening humanitarian crisis
[00:07:19] in the Gaza Strip, ending the war, protecting
[00:07:23] civilians, and reviving the political track remain
[00:07:26] the main challenges facing the efforts of the international community to restore
[00:07:29] stability to the region.
[00:07:33] As the announcement of an agreement between Iran
[00:07:35] and Oman regarding the mechanism for managing shipping traffic in
[00:07:39] Hormuz approaches, the region is in a state of anticipation for American
[00:07:42] reactions to the agreement and whether it will lead to a return
[00:07:45] to the terms of the memorandum of understanding. Meanwhile,
[00:07:48] Pakistan expressed hope that the agreement concerning the Strait of
[00:07:51] Hormuz would lead to the resumption of talks between the United
[00:07:55] States of America and
[00:07:57] Iran.
[00:07:59] In an indication of the approaching resolution and despite the atmosphere of optimism about the imminent
[00:08:03] conclusion of an agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz, Iran
[00:08:06] announced that its negotiations with Oman had made tangible
[00:08:10] progress and entered the final
[00:08:14] at the same time that shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:08:18] would pass through Iranian waters. Iran
[00:08:21] said that the agreement is temporary and its implementation remains
[00:08:24] conditional on the non-interference of other parties,
[00:08:27] in addition to the United States fulfilling its commitments
[00:08:31] regarding sanctions and the naval
[00:08:34] contrast, Pakistan expressed its hope that the anticipated
[00:08:38] agreement would provide an entry point for the resumption of technical talks between
[00:08:41] Washington and Tehran. Meanwhile, US President
[00:08:45] Donald Trump affirmed the continuation of contacts with the Iranians,
[00:08:49] stressing that his country prefers to reach an agreement
[00:08:52] but will not allow Iran to possess nuclear
[00:08:55] weapons. As for US Vice President G. D.
[00:08:59] Vance, he confirmed that the US administration will use
[00:09:02] all political, economic, and military pressure tools
[00:09:07] keeping the option of negotiation open.
[00:09:11] In a field development, the British
[00:09:14] Maritime Trade Operations announced that an oil tanker
[00:09:18] reported hearing two explosions while crossing the Strait of
[00:09:21] Hormuz near the Omani coast, without any damage
[00:09:24] or injuries being recorded, in an incident that reflects
[00:09:28] the continued security tension in one of the most important
[00:09:31] maritime corridors for global energy transport. In a related
[00:09:35] context, American reports revealed differences within
[00:09:39] the American administration regarding the continuation of military operations,
[00:09:42] amidst concerns related to ammunition stockpiles,
[00:09:45] coinciding with the announcement by the US Treasury Department of lifting
[00:09:50] associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,
[00:09:54] with Washington confirming that the move does not mean a change in
[00:09:58] its policy towards Tehran. On the economic front, indicators
[00:10:02] of de-escalation were reflected in the markets, as oil prices fell amid
[00:10:05] growing expectations of a possible understanding
[00:10:08] that guarantees the continuity of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:10:13] Despite the continuing differences regarding the mechanism for managing
[00:10:16] the passage, transit fees, and the level
[00:10:20] overseeing ship
[00:10:22] traffic.
[00:10:36] The Media and National Guidance Committee of the Senate, chaired by Senator
[00:10:40] Mohammed Daoudieh, met with the Minister of Government Communications and official

[00:10:46] media institutions. Daoudieh called for strengthening national
[00:10:50] media discourse and countering disinformation campaigns and rumors. He stressed the importance
[00:10:53] of aligning behind the state and its institutions to confront

[00:11:04] awareness. He affirmed that Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty the King, deals with regional
[00:11:07] developments with a responsible diplomatic approach based on full

[00:11:30] that the government follows a well-thought-out media policy during crises
[00:11:33] that is based on providing accurate information, strengthening citizens'
[00:11:37] trust in state institutions, and combating rumors and misinformation.

[00:13:03] development process.

[00:22:48] Follow-up when
[00:22:51] providing all these features was through
[00:22:54] the Sanad application. The Ministry
[00:22:57] of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship continues its efforts to enhance
[00:23:03] justice in accessing digital training and empowerment,
[00:23:06] in addition to improving the level of digital services provided
[00:23:10] to citizens and developing the infrastructure for
[00:23:13] this purpose in various governorates
[00:23:15] of the Kingdom. As part of the continuous
[00:23:19] government efforts to consolidate Aqaba's position as a main
[00:23:22] logistics and regional center, a ministerial delegation comprising
[00:23:26] the Ministers of Transport, Energy, Industry, and Trade, and the relevant
[00:23:29] unions and chambers of commerce and industry, met with the Aqaba
[00:23:33] Special Economic Zone Authority
[00:23:36] and shipping facilities in Aqaba. This visit
[00:23:40] culminated in important decisions that contribute to raising the efficiency
[00:23:43] of cargo handling and facilitating transit trade movement
[00:23:46] and reducing the time of procedures, especially
[00:23:52] Iraq and Syria. Details in the following report.
[00:23:55] In a step aimed at enhancing government
[00:23:57] coordination and advancing the investment
[00:24:00] development process, the visit of the ministerial
[00:24:04] delegation, general customs, and trade and industrial
[00:24:07] chambers to the Aqaba Economic Authority
[00:24:10] resulted in a set of important
[00:24:13] logistical and regulatory decisions.
[00:24:16] Key decisions include opening
[00:24:20] a yard in the Authority for
[00:24:22] placing long-stay containers
[00:24:26] for transit, for example, our brothers at General
[00:24:28] Customs on how to deal containers
[00:24:32] and transporting them for inspection.
[00:24:35] How to
[00:24:38] open a new yard to accommodate
[00:24:42] empty containers.
[00:24:45] We talked about making a decision
[00:24:49] regarding fines or
[00:24:51] ground fees for containers exported
[00:24:55] from Aqaba Port. These
[00:25:00] with the positive figures achieved
[00:25:02] by the transport and logistics sector in Aqaba,
[00:25:06] where the multi-purpose port achieved a growth rate of
[00:25:10] 38%. And the container port handled
[00:25:14] more than one million standard containers.
[00:25:17] We are talking about unprecedented commercial activity
[00:25:20] in Aqaba,
[00:25:24] on logistics and dealing
[00:25:27] with this issue. But the beautiful thing about our discussion
[00:25:30] today is that it was in precise
[00:25:33] detail about where the problems lie,
[00:25:38] thing. This reduces the existing burden. The remaining
[00:25:41] procedures are administrative procedures that reduce
[00:25:44] the level of shipping detention
[00:25:48] while waiting for loading or
[00:25:50] unloading. Thank God there was a great response.
[00:25:54] All challenges and observations
[00:25:56] were taken into account to find solutions
[00:25:59] for them, and God willing, there will be several because
[00:26:03] some matters require decisions that require
[00:26:06] amendments to laws and regulations. The important
[00:26:10] decisions that resulted from this meeting were not limited to enhancing
[00:26:14] the investment environment currently and in the future,
[00:26:18] but also extended to solidify Aqaba's position as a regional
[00:26:21] logistics center and a gateway
[00:26:24] for supply chains with neighboring countries.
[00:26:27] Decisions and field directives aim
[00:26:31] to enhance Aqaba's position as a center for the national
[00:26:34] economy and a regional logistics center
[00:26:38] to facilitate transit trade movement
[00:26:41] and enhance the ports' ability
[00:26:44] to accommodate the exponential growth in goods
[00:26:47] traffic. Maan Abu Delo for Jordan TV,
[00:26:51] Aqaba. The Drivers and Vehicles Licensing
[00:26:54] Department announced the launch of the service for booking practical

[00:27:45] volume reached approximately 7.6 million dinars, and the number of traded shares

[00:28:59] These were the most prominent economic news for today.
[00:29:17] of reform, regulatory, and oversight measures to ensure the continued
[00:29:21] provision of the best services
[00:29:25] sectors and other services
[00:29:27] Let's follow.
[00:29:29] To improve the reality of services provided to citizens.
[00:29:34] of reform, regulatory, and oversight measures
[00:29:38] to ensure the continued provision sectors.
[00:29:41] vital, a very large percentage of the water coming
[00:29:44] to Mafraq Governorate. We were surprised that a very large percentage,
[00:29:48] exceeding 65%, is lost. So, for me,
[00:29:51] this loss now, as governor, raises a hundred
[00:29:55] question marks. Where does the lost water go? Therefore, there are committees
[00:29:59] formed now for this purpose, and we will not blame the
[00:30:02] administrative government for applying the law
[00:30:06] and administration with regard to anyone who might
[00:30:09] now tamper with the water network, because I cannot tolerate someone who is
[00:30:12] now tampering with this network and leave thousands
[00:30:16] of people in the region thirsty. Therefore, I
[00:30:20] assure people, whether in Mafraq or
[00:30:23] in the Badia region, that there will be radical
[00:30:26] solutions within a month, God willing, that will be
[00:30:30] comprehensive in their solution. These measures focused on
[00:30:33] rapid response to the demands of the residents of the main areas
[00:30:37] in the water, roads, education, and health sectors, in addition
[00:30:41] to many services, and that is according to the available capabilities.
[00:30:44] When you put 9 million and scatter them over
[00:30:47] 45 sectors, I don't think there will be anything effective.
[00:30:51] However, if we think now of specialized budgets
[00:30:54] that will bear fruit, even after a while, that I say that
[00:30:57] my budget now in 2027 relates to.
