Engineer Sakher Doudeen. Welcome, Your Excellency. Welcome. But before starting the discussion, [00:01:18] let's watch [00:01:20] in this report. [00:01:24] national Palestinian soil Intensive diplomatic [00:01:26] movements aim to mobilize international support. [00:01:30] And pressing Islamic efforts to stop [00:01:33] the continuous Israeli [00:01:35] their results on Well, on the other violations in the occupied [00:01:37] the general food security in city of Jerusalem for Islamic [00:01:40] and Christian holy sites [00:01:43] there must be a real therein. The situation in Jerusalem topped the agenda of the meeting [00:01:46] with the aim of formulating [00:01:48] issue, and the occupation's a common stance in the face of escalating [00:01:51] Israeli measures that target the identity [00:01:56] Good evening, we said, has weakened of the city, [00:01:57] in recent years, as the committee specializes [00:01:59] but it is still in coordinating Arab movements on the international arena [00:02:02] and confronting the occupied Palestinian [00:02:05] territories, and following up on the implementation of international [00:02:09] resolutions related to preserving [00:02:12] the existing historical and legal status of the city [00:02:16] and its holy sites. This meeting was not the first [00:02:20] of its kind under [00:02:21] unit's job is as Deputy Prime [00:02:22] to weaken the unity Minister and Minister [00:02:24] of Foreign Affairs [00:02:27] facilities and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi, [00:02:30] previously chaired the eighth meeting of the Arab [00:02:33] experiences and accumulates Ministerial Committee in supply chains, transportation, tasked with international [00:02:35] action to confront illegal Israeli policies [00:02:39] and measures in the occupied city [00:02:42] was held [00:02:46] in the form of rumors, all the world must in Cairo in 2024. [00:02:48] During the meeting, Israeli transgressions [00:02:52] and violations in Jerusalem and ways to confront [00:02:56] and stop them were discussed. The committee members condemned [00:03:02] investigate, lest Israel's provocations against holy sites, [00:03:07] food commodities practices. Well, affirming their rejection Your Excellency, of all Israeli policies aimed at changing the Arab, Islamic, [00:03:11] Because much of this and Christian identity and its holy sites, including the incursions [00:03:14] of extremist Israeli ministers [00:03:17] and officials into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram [00:03:21] Al-Sharif in Jerusalem, and the provocative [00:03:23] statements and escalating steps taken by the extremist [00:03:26] occupation government to change the historical [00:03:30] and legal status [00:03:32] any voice that might of the city and impose new realities and practices, [00:03:36] leading to the temporal [00:03:39] the cannon, and spatial division [00:03:40] Therefore, yes, of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif.

[00:04:22] Welcome again. [00:04:25] and broadcast it in How do you interpret the outcomes of the Arab [00:04:27] Islamic meeting [00:04:30] that was held in Amman [00:04:34] regarding Jerusalem? May [00:04:37] the details. At God bless you and all Mr. Hussam, our viewers. Honestly, first, [00:04:40] Jordan did well by You know, amid [00:04:44] the painful events throughout the region, [00:04:47] the world's attention [00:04:49] in the Arab world this issue and emphasize and clearly. At has turned entirely to what is happening [00:04:53] around the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf, and Iran, [00:04:55] and so on, [00:04:57] us, must be [00:04:58] So, there has been the Palestinian issue somewhat since in the last year or three, [00:05:00] it was the focus of all it was left, [00:05:04] and Israel, as usual, exploited any opportunity [00:05:07] to do what [00:05:09] So today, this it always does, but away [00:05:13] from the eyes of the world. Israel [00:05:16] wants this land completely without inhabitants. [00:05:19] Let's be very clear. Israel never wanted [00:05:23] to be an occupying power, but it does [00:05:26] not want people to be there. And this [00:05:29] is what Jordan has always warned about, through [00:05:32] His Majesty the King, that displacement is a red line [00:05:36] that we cannot accept. When Jordan sheds light [00:05:41] Jerusalem has symbolism in the whole world. So, when [00:05:45] you talk about Jerusalem, we were able to gather, [00:05:50] to gather many Islamic countries as well, [00:05:53] because Jerusalem has its is a religious [00:05:57] city for Muslims and Christians. It is a very civilized [00:06:00] city, and it is the symbol, of peace in the region. [00:06:04] important things that came out in the statement, [00:06:08] in reality, is that it first returned matters to their proper [00:06:13] course by stating that is the occupation. [00:06:17] We are now talking about Jerusalem or what [00:06:20] is happening in Qalandia refugee camp, and so on. These are the consequences [00:06:24] of the occupation, but the occupation of Palestinian [00:06:27] land and depriving the Palestinian people of their right [00:06:31] to self-determination and establishing their national state on their [00:06:36] is the foundation. If this problem [00:06:40] even the problem of Iran would not exist, [00:06:43] because it is the excuse for Iran and others. [00:06:46] Because there is an occupation Well, Your Excellency, [00:06:50] in light of these difficult regional and even [00:06:53] global circumstances, and the international community's [00:06:57] lack of attention to the Palestinian [00:07:01] usual aggression against the West Bank, in addition [00:07:04] to Gaza, of course, how can Jordan [00:07:07] today be a turning point towards Jerusalem [00:07:11] to highlight it again? Jordan, under the leadership [00:07:15] of His Majesty the King, carries the torch of the Palestinian [00:07:19] cause to the four Essentially, in all [00:07:22] his visits to all international forums, His Majesty [00:07:25] the King speaks about the Palestinian issue, [00:07:29] and its core, Jerusalem. This time, specifically, [00:07:32] when he gathered the Arab and Islamic world, [00:07:36] and also addressed the entire world, he put [00:07:40] its responsibilities. There is a three-line [00:07:43] statement from His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, [00:07:47] Ayman Safadi: "Sovereignty over Jerusalem is Palestinian, [00:07:50] and the custodianship is historical Hashemite, while protection [00:07:54] So, [00:07:58] This matter cannot be done by Jordan [00:08:01] alone, but rather through Arab, Islamic, [00:08:04] and international cooperation in this manner. [00:08:08] You know that one of the outcomes [00:08:11] of the meeting is that they want to establish a special platform [00:08:14] to document violations. In the last three years, [00:08:18] people sometimes underestimate the media and sometimes [00:08:21] see its negative or bad side, sometimes [00:08:24] with social media and so on. But what happened, [00:08:28] the tragedies, the pain, and the genocidal [00:08:31] operations in Gaza specifically, opened the eyes [00:08:34] of the entire world to the fact that the Israeli [00:08:38] narrative was a false narrative, and to be honest, [00:08:41] Jordan played a very big role in changing [00:08:44] from the very first days. Today, this [00:08:47] platform, when it documents for the world, which is [00:08:51] now looking with a keen to take Israel's [00:08:55] narrative completely for granted and did not care about [00:08:58] any other narrative. Today, it scrutinizes everything. [00:09:04] in the world, or Zionists in the world, is New York. [00:09:07] When New York produces an mayor like Zohran [00:09:10] Michigan now, when Abdullah [00:09:14] Al-Sayed, who openly [00:09:18] declares that Israel is a criminal [00:09:21] state and commits genocide and so on, [00:09:25] then this platform today has become [00:09:28] truly important. First, because [00:09:32] it must professionally document everything [00:09:37] all languages in the world that can convey this [00:09:40] message. This is one thing. The second thing is that [00:09:44] they want to activate legal procedures. You know [00:09:48] that South Africa prosecuted Israel, [00:09:51] But this must be activated because we know that [00:09:55] Israel launched a counterattack and dismissed Khan, the prosecutor. [00:09:58] We must revisit [00:10:01] it and amplify it. The third thing [00:10:05] is that there must be a complete international [00:10:08] alliance that presented Also, of course, [00:10:12] we also need to have a large international [00:10:15] coalition to protect and defend Jerusalem specifically [00:10:19] and Palestine in general. [00:10:22] conference came out, at least with some things. [00:10:25] To be honest, we are fed up with condemnation [00:10:28] and denunciation. And then, people [00:10:31] are being slaughtered and dying. At least today, there [00:10:35] is something tangible that we can start [00:10:38] with. Jordan's role is a pivotal [00:10:41] and very fundamental role. The Hashemite [00:10:44] custodianship, people may think it is symbolic, but [00:10:48] it is not. The Hashemite custodianship is a historical, [00:10:51] religious, legal document that protected [00:10:54] the Arab and Islamic identity and added to it [00:10:57] the Christian identity because the custodianship became [00:11:01] over Islamic and Christian holy sites, and the constant [00:11:04] dunams is the area Yes, all this [00:11:08] is very important, and if the custodianship [00:11:11] did not exist, they would a long time ago and entered [00:11:15] Al-Aqsa Mosque. They have already taken over the entire [00:11:18] seen now that they have left no refugee [00:11:22] camp without trying to uproot the people in it, [00:11:25] displace them from one place to another, [00:11:28] and God knows what [00:11:31] Jordan stands like a hawk, watching all this [00:11:34] and alerting the world and shedding light on [00:11:38] it and raising its voice, and also strengthening its [00:11:42] hand with its Arab and Muslim brethren. [00:11:45] Well, Your Excellency, what are the requirements [00:11:48] for the success of this Jordanian initiative, which [00:11:51] produced this media platform [00:11:55] to document the crimes of the occupation in Jerusalem [00:11:58] and the West Bank? for the success of these [00:12:02] demands? The requirements for success, first, [00:12:08] political will among This is first. Second, [00:12:12] financial support must be secured because [00:12:15] for such a platform, you know that Israel [00:12:18] and the Zionists control many media platforms [00:12:22] in the world. So, in order to enter [00:12:26] and fight all these platforms, there must [00:12:29] be real financial support so that you [00:12:33] can broadcast this message, and it must [00:12:37] be broadcast in several languages, not just [00:12:41] one language. Today, Spanish is spoken [00:12:44] by almost half the world. All of South America [00:12:48] speaks Spanish. Mexico speaks [00:12:51] Spanish. Spain speaks Spanish. So, there [00:12:55] is a large number of people who speak Spanish, not [00:12:58] to mention English, which is an official [00:13:01] language, and there are other languages. [00:13:05] I hope that there will be a platform [00:13:08] in Chinese, because today China is half [00:13:12] the world. We are between China and India. [00:13:15] These are more than half the world. [00:13:18] We must also stir up passion [00:13:22] and enthusiasm among all these people [00:13:26] to expose Israel's [00:13:31] how do you evaluate the international [00:13:34] media's performance in covering the violations [00:13:38] of the Israeli occupation, especially [00:13:41] in Jerusalem and the West Bank? I believe [00:13:45] that for the past two years, [00:13:49] the international media was completely complicit [00:13:51] with Israel. It was complicit [00:13:55] and paid to silence emerge. But the [00:13:58] river of Palestinian blood ultimately [00:14:01] triumphed over [00:14:04] the sword, and the Israeli rockets, [00:14:08] because it became so intense that it [00:14:11] could not be covered by any sieve. [00:14:14] The sun cannot be covered by a sieve, and [00:14:18] this crime, this genocide that happened, [00:14:22] and this astonishing massacre that happened [00:14:25] in Gaza, is no longer a problem [00:14:28] and is ongoing. We saw a few days [00:14:32] ago when the bodies [00:14:36] ascended. All this today, [00:14:39] many media outlets in the world [00:14:42] have started, like Piers Morgan, one [00:14:46] of the most important, let's say, anchors —he is a cornerstone [00:14:49] in stations like the BBC and others. [00:14:53] He used to ask the first question [00:14:57] to anyone a long time ago, "Do you condemn [00:15:01] Hamas? Do you condemn Hamas? Do you condemn [00:15:04] this?" This was the first question. Today, [00:15:08] the situation has changed. Today, he himself, [00:15:12] when an Israeli speaks, he silences [00:15:15] him and tells him, "What you are saying [00:15:18] is wrong and a lie." Do you see? [00:15:23] a change in the general global mood. [00:15:27] However, this platform that is going [00:15:31] to be created needs to have [00:15:34] significant financial support, and there [00:15:38] needs to be genuine content documented [00:15:42] with photos [00:15:45] we need to empower our children in the West [00:15:49] Bank and Gaza and other places, [00:15:53] methods that are now available. [00:15:56] You can get all these things just [00:16:00] by simple shooting with mobile phones, [00:16:03] cameras, and so on, and document them. Most of what appeared [00:16:08] on social media from Gaza, you [00:16:10] saw that young boys and girls filmed it. [00:16:14] Most of them. Major stations, [00:16:17] foreign stations, were prevented from [00:16:21] entering. There were only two or three [00:16:25] stations that were barely allowed in, and [00:16:29] were killed. For example, Al Jazeera [00:16:32] had several martyrs. And other channels. [00:16:36] Therefore, I believe that if there is [00:16:39] real support for this platform, it [00:16:42] will increase Israel's international isolation, [00:16:46] which we see day after day, and [00:16:50] the Vice President of the United States, [00:16:54] referred to when he said, "What does Israel [00:16:58] rely on? It has only America left [00:17:01] in the world. So, shut up. Don't [00:17:05] insult us as Americans," [00:17:07] because they even insulted their masters. [00:17:12] hand, Your Excellency, social media and [00:17:16] professional media that expose the crimes [00:17:19] of the occupation and document them [00:17:22] are also subjected to attempts to mislead. [00:17:26] How can this be confronted? The narrative [00:17:29] of the occupation, [00:17:36] present and growing and receives support [00:17:40] as well. I probably mentioned in many [00:17:43] previous interviews Unit 8200, [00:17:46] which tries to spread all kinds [00:17:50] of poisons, especially in Arab society [00:17:54] and in the societies around us. This [00:18:00] of the nation from within. Therefore, [00:18:03] I appeal to all young people who use [00:18:07] social media, the moment you hear [00:18:11] news that you feel somehow or another [00:18:15] criticizes your country or your leadership [00:18:18] or even the Arab countries around you [00:18:23] you must stop once, twice, three, [00:18:27] and four times, and remember the [00:18:29] noble verse: "O you who have believed, [00:18:32] if there comes to you a disobedient [00:18:36] one with information, [00:18:39] you harm a people out of ignorance and [00:18:43] then regret what you have done." [00:18:48] stuff is poison mixed with honey. Poison mixed [00:18:52] with honey. Sometimes you find a beautiful [00:18:55] headline that is fine, but it is [00:18:59] laced with a lot of poison. Our young [00:19:02] people must be aware and know [00:19:06] that we are being targeted by this [00:19:09] unit and by Israel. Brothers, we have a peace treaty [00:19:13] with Israel, but peace treaties are [00:19:16] only signed with [00:19:31] remain vigilant and cautious. [00:19:35] I appeal to all young people to remain [00:19:39] on social media, because poison is [00:19:42] mixed with honey for them. And [00:19:46] regarding the international community, how do [00:19:49] we address the international community now? There [00:19:53] is a platform, but there is responsibility [00:19:56] on journalists, activists, to address [00:20:00] the global media about the Palestinian [00:20:03] cause in general. Today, the international [00:20:06] platform that is going to be created, [00:20:10] or the platform that they are requesting, [00:20:13] must be a professional platform. We are [00:20:16] no longer asking young boys and girls [00:20:20] to speak on social media. [00:20:22] Today, the most prominent journalists [00:20:27] and in the Islamic world, and even [00:20:30] in the free world that sympathizes with [00:20:35] brought in, and a complete and systematic [00:20:38] strategy must be put in place [00:20:42] for how to first defeat and repel [00:20:44] and refute any other direction [00:20:47] before us, and to broadcast our [00:20:50] narrative in a way that leaves no [00:20:53] room for others to confront or refute [00:20:56] it. I mean, a complete strategy [00:20:59] must be put in place because [00:21:02] we are now aware of the Israeli Hasbara, [00:21:06] lies, deception, and misinformation. [00:21:12] aware of it. So today, we [00:21:15] can penetrate all of it and immediately [00:21:18] expose it. Just by showing [00:21:22] two or three mistakes, you lose [00:21:25] trust in the Israeli narrative, just [00:21:29] like what happened, if you remember, [00:21:32] when they entered Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza [00:21:36] and started reading the names of terrorists. [00:21:40] This was on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, [00:21:43] and the work shifts. He said these are [00:21:46] the names of terrorists. As soon as you [00:21:49] translated it to people, they knew that these [00:21:52] were liars. Immediately. [00:21:55] At the end of our first segment, [00:21:58] dear viewers, we thank our guest, [00:22:05] We move on to our second segment. [00:22:07] In light of the [00:22:10] rapid regional and international changes, food security [00:22:13] emerges as one of the most important [00:22:16] pillars of national security, especially [00:22:20] with the challenges posed by disruptions [00:22:24] in supply chains and global market [00:22:27] fluctuations. To discuss the reality of food [00:22:31] security in Jordan and the Kingdom's [00:22:34] readiness to face future challenges, [00:22:37] we are joined via video call [00:22:40] by economic expert Mr. Hussam Ayesh. [00:22:43] Welcome, everyone. [00:22:46] Mr. Hussam. In light of regional [00:22:50] and global challenges, to what extent [00:22:53] does Jordan today possess a food [00:22:56] security system capable of truly [00:22:59] facing crises and ensuring the stability [00:23:03] of food supplies? There is no [00:23:07] doubt that the various crises, [00:23:11] various disruptions, and various wars [00:23:14] in the region and even in the world [00:23:17] have shown that accumulates its [00:23:23] more capabilities for food security [00:23:26] capable of facing emergencies, at least [00:23:30] during their early stages, and thus [00:23:33] the ability to absorb various [00:23:37] repercussions and upgrade to an additional [00:23:40] stage regarding the emerging supply [00:23:43] chains due to their change in some [00:23:46] cases or their disruption. Not to mention [00:23:50] that it also has self-capabilities, [00:23:52] meaning strategic reserves of basic [00:23:57] and needs, even energy in its [00:24:01] various forms. There is no doubt that it has [00:24:05] now become more capable [00:24:08] of making Jordan secure for a reasonable [00:24:11] period of time, and thus capable [00:24:15] of facing negative repercussions, [00:24:17] especially those [00:24:20] that come suddenly from wars, [00:24:24] disruptions, epidemics, or others. [00:24:30] Jordan, and by experience, I mean it's [00:24:33] not just that we are talking [00:24:37] theoretically, we are talking about [00:24:41] real practical [00:24:44] Jordan proved that it possesses [00:24:48] a food security [00:24:50] system. It is true that with [00:24:53] the continuous directives of His Majesty [00:24:55] the King to the government, we need [00:24:59] more development, modernization, [00:25:03] and improvement in it, but [00:25:06] it was largely able, in abnormal [00:25:09] circumstances, to play its [00:25:13] role in protecting the basic needs [00:25:17] of the Jordanian citizen and the Jordanian [00:25:20] economic sectors. [00:25:23] when talking about His Majesty the King's [00:25:26] directives, we want to talk about [00:25:29] the importance [00:25:31] of these directives in strengthening the strategic [00:25:35] reserve of grains and basic commodities, [00:25:39] and the period of time that [00:25:42] this reserve should cover, according [00:25:46] to the best practices in place. [00:25:49] I mean, the current reserve of basic [00:25:52] food commodities, we are talking about grains, [00:25:56] barley, and wheat, and what is similar to them, I believe [00:26:00] that it ranges between 7 [00:26:04] to 8 months to 10 months, [00:26:07] and sometimes, with what has been [00:26:10] contracted for imports, it [00:26:13] may exceed a year or even more. [00:26:16] His Majesty the King's directives go in [00:26:20] more than one direction. Firstly, [00:26:23] developing the food security system. [00:26:26] Secondly, developing a mechanism for [00:26:30] monitoring this reserve. The third issue is related [00:26:33] to the sustainability of supply chains, [00:26:36] both local and foreign, for the strategic [00:26:39] reserve. The fourth issue is related [00:26:44] the private sector and the public [00:26:48] sector, especially in the areas [00:26:51] of storage and transportation and [00:26:53] what is related [00:26:57] His Majesty the King here directs towards [00:27:00] additional proactivity [00:27:03] regarding food security, and he [00:27:06] fully realizes that food security [00:27:10] is part of national security, and more [00:27:12] played an important Yes, there is no doubt [00:27:16] that when we talk about food security, we talk [00:27:20] about overall food security [00:27:22] Jordan, whether it is carried [00:27:26] out by the public sector and the government or the private [00:27:29] sector, and therefore the roles here are complementary [00:27:33] but they are overall in [00:27:39] the Kingdom. Yes, the private sector perhaps has [00:27:43] wider experience because it is the main importer [00:27:46] of various food products [00:27:50] and commodities, and therefore [00:27:53] it tests supply chains [00:27:57] and storage, perhaps [00:28:00] larger in size [00:28:03] and sometimes more developed. It also has expertise regarding [00:28:07] alternative markets that [00:28:10] can be strategic in [00:28:13] meeting our [00:28:15] needs for food commodities, [00:28:19] and it is also perhaps [00:28:22] more flexible in performing [00:28:25] its tasks regarding [00:28:29] in construction, [00:28:33] and storage. Therefore, [00:28:35] His Majesty the King was speaking [00:28:38] about the role of the private sector here as if [00:28:42] he was indicating the importance of integration on the one hand [00:28:45] and benefiting from the distinguished expertise
