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