00:04:55The regional situation is difficult.
00:04:59The crises around
00:05:02the launch of a study on the state and blood bank building at Ma'an us are not easy at all. They have an impact on the region and on

00:06:52launch into a sustainable development process.
00:06:56This is the fifth working
00:06:58visit to Ma'an Governorate during
00:07:02the past two years. I am honored
00:07:04once again to be with my colleagues
00:07:08today in this dear governorate
00:07:11to all of us, among our people
00:07:14and our pride in Ma'an.
00:07:17Last year, the Council of Ministers
00:07:21met in this governorate
00:07:23and we agreed on a detailed
00:07:26program
00:07:30program is implemented over three years with specific funding,
00:07:34and I think
00:07:36this was an agreement and a covenant between us that
00:07:39we would implement it on schedule and within
00:07:42its allocations, and we are continuing to do so. We also
00:07:45had meetings with the honorable
00:07:48program in the past period, and with the
00:07:51brothers in the Senate as well, because
00:07:55it is important to us
00:07:59that things change and there are transformations, so
00:08:02it is important to take into account the needs
00:08:05that may arise sometimes in terms of
00:08:08service aspects that we can try to help
00:08:12with and cover outside the scope of
00:08:15the executive program that was agreed upon, but regarding
00:08:19the program, we are
00:08:22is a commitment. And our meeting with you
00:08:25in this council is for this purpose, and to also
00:08:29ensure that your priorities
00:08:33basic and necessary program, which is
00:08:37the building block for development in this governorate.
00:08:40There are approximately 127 projects distributed across
00:08:45program. Their cost over the three
00:08:48years is approximately a quarter billion dinars, and the completion
00:08:52rate specifically is 81%.
00:08:55This is regarding the sectoral service
00:08:58program, and of course, there is continuous follow-up and evaluation
00:09:01of these matters, but honestly,
00:09:04I am
00:09:06fully convinced that there is
00:09:09a very important economic opportunity
00:09:12for this governorate that must be seized,
00:09:16and I am fully convinced that during the next two
00:09:19years, we will be able to move forward with these
00:09:23necessary and important opportunities that ultimately
00:09:26will enable
00:09:30embark on a sustainable and necessary development
00:09:33process. We began by establishing
00:09:37incentives for the development
00:09:39zone.
00:09:42Land prices dropped by 50%.
00:09:46We lowered electricity by about 75%
00:09:49for the first two years. Incentives provided
00:09:52for operational purposes. We also provided
00:09:56significant incentives. There has been some
00:09:59new interest in this area,
00:10:02and I believe it will gradually increase
00:10:05during 2027, which is a necessary
00:10:08start. But more importantly,
00:10:13when we launch
00:10:15the Aqaba Ma'an Dry Port,
00:10:19this is the essential cornerstone for building
00:10:22Ma'an's economy.
00:10:25Today, Aqaba has many priorities
00:10:29and ports. Rail transport,
00:10:33God willing, soon
00:10:36the foundation stone will be laid
00:10:39for the Aqaba-Shadiyeh Ma'an railway
00:10:42line. Because the railway
00:10:45line that reaches Ma'an will be a cornerstone
00:10:49for the Ma'an Dry Port. So connecting
00:10:52Aqaba with industry in Ma'an,
00:10:56with railways in Ma'an, and its logistics,
00:10:58and transporting all matters that can be transported to Ma'an
00:11:02logistically, including customs,
00:11:05is a fundamental issue that will provide
00:11:09us with an integrated component
00:11:11for the Ma'an Dry Port and the Ma'an Development
00:11:14Zone. In addition to that, we have now begun
00:11:18studying the connection
00:11:20of the Karama Safawi
00:11:23Azraq Al-Jafr Ma'an
00:11:27land route to connect Ma'an directly
00:11:30and more efficiently with Iraq. This
00:11:33is the picture that needs to be completed
00:11:37during 2027 and put into
00:11:40implementation. So in 2027,
00:11:43the tenders for this integrated picture
00:11:47will be issued so that we can implement it
00:11:50over the years, and God willing,
00:11:53on the ground, including the railway, by
00:11:562030. This is the vision that
00:12:00I firmly believe will achieve a necessary
00:12:03and indispensable level of development for this governorate.
00:12:07It is true that there are many service needs, and we are working
00:12:11on them. I visited many schools in Ma'an and we improved some of them,
00:12:14and we will continue to improve others.
00:12:18I thank you for this important partnership and
00:12:21for your cooperation, and God willing, in the
00:12:26will increase because the projects we are going to proceed with
00:12:30truly require us to work together as one
00:12:33hand, because these projects will be historic,
00:12:37important, and essential if we want to
00:12:39move to
00:12:43of work and development in this governorate.
00:12:46Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan had
00:12:50laid the foundation stone for the project to deliver natural gas to Al-Rawda
00:12:53Industrial City. At a cost of approximately 10 million
00:12:57dinars. The Prime Minister also inaugurated the new expansion project
00:13:00of Ma'an Government Hospital, at a cost
00:13:03of approximately five million
00:13:05dinars.
00:13:08A new step on the path to strengthening investment and supporting the industrial
00:13:12sector in Ma'an Governorate was represented by the laying
00:13:15of the foundation stone by Prime Minister Dr. Jaafar Hassan for the project
00:13:19to deliver natural gas to Al-Rawda Industrial City,
00:13:22which is part of Ma'an Development Zone. At a cost
00:13:25of approximately 10 million dinars and funded by an Emirati
00:13:29grant provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund
00:13:32for Development. The project is expected to be completed within
00:13:3518 months, as part of a grant with a total
00:13:39value of approximately 50 million dinars
00:13:42allocated to support projects to supply industrial cities with natural
00:13:46gas in a number of governorates of the Kingdom.
00:13:49The project is expected to contribute to reducing energy
00:13:52costs for industries by percentages ranging
00:13:58from, which enhances the competitiveness of industrial establishments
00:14:02and supports opportunities for expansion and investment. The project
00:14:05enhances the strategic
00:14:09position of Al-Rawda Industrial City, in addition
00:14:13to its strategic location. We are talking about the existence
00:14:17of a package of incentives that the government approved last
00:14:19month, in addition of course to the issue of
00:14:23infrastructure at all levels. All of
00:14:27these are enhancers and complementary factors for an industrial
00:14:29system that we are optimistic about, which will attract
00:14:32new investments and new industries within
00:14:36the goals of Ma'an Development Company. Of course,
00:14:40the work plan and all of this ultimately
00:14:44contributes to creating job opportunities. So we are very
00:14:47optimistic about it. There
00:14:49are 138 projects that have been approved, and the completion
00:14:52rate of these projects exceeded 81%, and this
00:14:55will, and the citizen has started to feel
00:14:59its impact and experience it. The projects were targeted
00:15:03service projects, development projects,
00:15:06and major strategic projects that citizens
00:15:10will feel and experience their impact during
00:15:13the coming years. The projects were
00:15:16distributed to support infrastructure in the health
00:15:19sector. Today, the President, with the Minister of Health,
00:15:23inaugurated the outpatient clinics
00:15:26Government Hospital. This step falls within a government
00:15:30strategy aimed at delivering natural gas to industrial
00:15:33areas across the Kingdom. The government
00:15:37has completed similar projects in South Aqaba,
00:15:41Al-Juwayra, Al-Qastal, and Al-Hashimiyya, while
00:15:44work continues on the Al-Rawda Industrial City and Al-Mojer
00:15:47projects in parallel with the completion of studies for the establishment
00:15:50of two new projects in King Hussein Development Zone
00:15:54in Mafraq and Zarqa. In the health
00:15:57sector, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new expansion project
00:16:01of Ma'an Government Hospital, which includes an outpatient
00:16:05clinics building and a blood bank covering an area exceeding
00:16:085,000 square meters, at a cost
00:16:11of approximately five million dinars. The new
00:16:14expansion aims to improve the level of medical services
00:16:18provided to the people of the governorate
00:16:21and provide a more efficient health environment
00:16:24for receiving patients. The Prime Minister praised
00:16:27the efforts of the Phosphate Company, which donated the cost
00:16:31of medical equipment, in addition to the contribution of the Potash
00:16:35Company in implementing some
00:16:39construction phases within the framework of social responsibilities
00:16:42and serving the local community.
00:16:45During a press conference after the Council
00:16:49of Ministers meeting in Ma'an Governorate, the Minister of Government
00:16:52Communication, the official spokesperson for the government, Dr. Muhammad
00:16:57will continue to follow up on projects in the governorate
00:17:00and work to allocate the related budgets
00:17:03and implementation plans and provide the necessary
00:17:06allocations for them. The Council also took a package of decisions
00:17:09to establish and support industrial
00:17:13and other decisions in education, energy, and the environment.
00:17:17Today's session is not
00:17:20just about presenting what
00:17:22we talked about in the previous session. We are
00:17:25presenting the progress of work and the completion
00:17:31was presented in the previous session of the Council of Ministers
00:17:35in Ma'an Governorate, but also we are talking about
00:17:37the next stage. The completion rate reached 81%, and thank
00:17:40God, 81% of what was proposed in the previous
00:17:44session of the Council of Ministers in Ma'an Governorate has been completed
00:17:47at a value of approximately a quarter billion dinars,
00:17:50250 million. There was talk about many
00:17:54other projects, and I will delve into
00:17:57some of their details. The military hospital, God willing, will be completed
00:18:01by the end of 2027. There was talk about
00:18:04gardens, and this is an extremely important
00:18:08matter, brothers, and it directly reflects on
00:18:11the quality of life for citizens and visitors. The government,
00:18:15as you know, and the Prime Minister announced that it will build
00:18:19six gardens, including a garden in Ma'an Governorate.
00:18:21And these gardens conform
00:18:24to the specifications of the garden that was inaugurated in
00:18:28Mafraq city, and others or others in Al-Nashama
00:18:32Garden in Marj Al-Hamam area, God willing, will be completed
00:18:35during the year 2027 to be a recreational
00:18:39outlet for visitors, citizens, children, and youth. I would also
00:18:43like to point out that there is a comprehensive and immediate rehabilitation of
00:18:47the Teachers' Club building in Ma'an, which will be completed
00:18:50within three months as part of a plan to improve the infrastructure of Teachers'
00:18:54Clubs in various governorates at a cost of 3 million
00:18:57dinars, and the construction
00:18:59governorates that do not have them, as part of
00:19:03our commitment to supporting teachers and providing services to them.
00:19:06Today, the Council of Ministers approved the establishment of a development
00:19:09zone covering an area of 13,000 dunams owned by the State
00:19:13Treasury in the eastern Abu Amoud
00:19:16area in Ma'an Governorate for the establishment of three
00:19:19strategic industrial projects to produce phosphoric
00:19:22acid, pure phosphoric acid,
00:19:25and sulfuric acid, with
00:19:28the Jordanian Phosphate Mines Company being the main developer
00:19:31of this area. There was also an approval for the Ministry
00:19:35of Labor to apply a support mechanism.
00:19:38The productive branches program, what
00:19:41does this mean? This is the operation of local businesses in the Al-Rawda
00:19:45Industrial Zone in the development zone in Ma'an
00:19:48Governorate. Of course, it is among a set of different
00:19:52decisions. This decision is related to paying 50% of
00:19:55workers' wages, and paying transportation and social
00:19:59security wages, and supporting electricity prices for five
00:20:02years. The first two years at 75%,
00:20:05the following two years at 50%, and the last year
00:20:07at 25%. This is direct support to attract investments
00:20:10to this industrial city. There is another
00:20:13decision related to
00:20:16unifying the exemptions related to green
00:20:20hydrogen projects, for which, thank God, Jordan is one of the countries
00:20:23that is progressing rapidly in this regard. Unifying
00:20:27the exemptions and advantages between the Aqaba Special
00:20:30Economic Zone and other areas outside
00:20:33this zone. The Speaker of the Senate,
00:20:36Faisal Al-Fayez, sponsored
00:20:40of environmental justice in Jordan and its legal, economic, and social
00:20:44impact on individuals and communities. The study was prepared by
00:20:47the Regional Center for Energy and Climate Justice
00:20:50at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and the National Center for Environmental
00:20:54Justice. Al-Fayez affirmed that environmental justice is based on protecting
00:20:58citizens' right to a healthy and safe environment, stressing
00:21:01that environmental concern has become a major international
00:21:05concern for governments, international organizations, and civil
00:21:08society institutions.
00:21:13part of the environment they live in. They affect
00:21:16it and it affects them. Therefore,
00:21:19interest in the environment and addressing
00:21:21its challenges, especially those related to climate
00:21:25change, global warming,
00:21:28and air and water pollution,
00:21:31has become a major international concern for
00:21:34governments, international organizations,
00:21:37and civil society
00:21:39institutions. Environmental justice
00:21:43is no longer a theoretical concept,
00:21:46but a necessity to address climate change
00:21:50and resource scarcity. Achieving
00:21:53it requires partnership among all relevant parties
00:21:57and support for civil and official bodies and organizations
00:22:00that
00:22:03the environment to enable environmental justice to promote
00:22:07stability and comprehensive development.
00:22:11Two years of work in the health sector, projects,
00:22:14and procedures to expand capacity and improve access to
00:22:18specialized services and reduce waiting times,
00:22:22in parallel with the expansion of digital health and the strengthening
00:22:25of staff and infrastructure. From
00:22:28hospitals to health centers, the health sector has witnessed
00:22:32significant expansion in health services and facilities in all
00:22:35governorates of the Kingdom over the past two years.
00:22:38In the north of the Kingdom, Princess Basma Hospital
00:22:41was opened and developed with a capacity of 504
00:22:45beds, while the first phase of the expansion and modernization of Princess
00:22:49Iman Government Hospital was completed within seven months. In Madaba
00:22:52Governorate, the implementation of the new hospital project began after about 10
00:22:56years of delay, while an open heart surgery department
00:23:00was established and equipped at Zarqa Hospital. In the field
00:23:03of healthcare, the Ra'aya program for providing
00:23:07cancer treatment came into effect at the beginning of this year,
00:23:10covering about 4,200,000
00:23:13citizens at a cost of 132 million
00:23:16dinars. Digitally, telemedicine services have expanded,
00:23:20and approximately 49,000 patients have benefited from
00:23:23remote diagnostic imaging services, in addition to heart,
00:23:27endocrine, intensive care, nutrition, and dialysis
00:23:30services. Also, 14 new health centers
00:23:33were established, and 49 centers were rehabilitated and maintained
00:23:37in various governorates, in addition to the computerization
00:23:40of 156 additional health facilities,
00:23:43bringing the total number of computerized health facilities to 431
00:23:46facilities. The Ministry of Health
00:23:50is working to develop services and enhance
00:23:53the ability to provide its services more effectively
00:23:56to citizens. Over the past two years, many
00:24:00affiliated with the Ministry of Health have been opened,
00:24:04which have helped and enabled the Ministry of Health to improve
00:24:07its services. The number of beds increased by
00:24:1110% over the past two years.
00:24:14The measures also included strengthening the drug stockpile and expanding
00:24:17home drug delivery services, and providing evening shifts in health
00:24:21centers surrounding Al-Bashir Hospital, Prince Faisal
00:24:25Hospital, and New Zarqa Hospital. At the field
00:24:27hospital in Amman, a dialysis unit with 40 beds,
00:24:31an intensive care unit with 44 beds,
00:24:35and an emergency department with 70 beds were established.
00:24:38Two new vaccines were also introduced into the national immunization
00:24:42program, and unified protocols for treating cancer, heart
00:24:45attacks, and strokes were launched. The Ministry of Health aims,
00:24:49through Royal directives and government
00:24:52directives, to provide a service
00:24:56in an ideal time, to provide a service
00:24:59that and citizen's
00:25:03burden of moving from one place
00:25:06to another, to provide a distinguished
00:25:09service. Between expanding facilities, digital transformation,
00:25:12and strengthening staff and services, projects to develop the health
00:25:16sector continue, with the aim of improving citizens' access to healthcare
00:25:20and reducing waiting times and the need to travel between
00:25:23governorates. Muhammad Al-Lawnsa, Jordanian Television.
00:25:38The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the storming
00:25:42by the extremist Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir
00:25:44and groups of extremist settlers
00:25:47of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Al-Haram Al-Sharif, under
00:25:51the protection of the occupation police. The official spokesperson
00:25:54for the ministry, Ambassador Fuad Al-Majali, affirmed
00:25:57the Kingdom's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the continued
00:26:01rejected incursions by ministers, officials, and extremist
00:26:05settlers, and their provocative practices, and the facilitation
00:26:08by the Israeli occupation police of the continuous incursions
00:26:12into the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, considering them a flagrant violation
00:26:15of international law and international humanitarian law, and an absurd
00:26:18and unacceptable act aimed at imposing new realities.
00:26:22Al-Majali warned of the consequences of the continuation of these violations,
00:26:26stressing that Israel has no sovereignty over occupied East Jerusalem
00:26:29and its Islamic and Christian holy sites. He also called
00:26:32on the international community to take a firm international
00:26:36stance that obliges Israel, as the occupying power, to stop
00:26:40its violations and illegal
00:26:44and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and to stop all measures
00:26:48that restrict the access of worshippers
00:26:49to the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
00:26:55While fears are increasing of an imminent humanitarian
00:26:58catastrophe, in light of thousands of families living in homes
00:27:02that are about to collapse due to the Israeli aggression
00:27:06on the Gaza Strip, the difficulties related to extracting the bodies
00:27:10of martyrs from under the rubble continue, with a severe
00:27:13shortage of equipment designated
00:27:16for this purpose. Fears are escalating of a new humanitarian
00:27:20catastrophe in the Gaza Strip, with displaced
00:27:23people living inside buildings that are about to collapse.
00:27:26In a related context, the government media office
00:27:29in Gaza said that thousands of displaced people are living inside
00:27:33damaged and threatened buildings due to the absence
00:27:37of alternatives and safe shelters, adding that
00:27:40the fate of dozens of women and children remains
00:27:44matter
00:27:47things, the lack of capabilities
00:27:51and the siege. Official agencies are struggling
00:27:53to deal with these incidents and disasters.
00:27:57This coincided with the continued suffering of extracting bodies.
00:28:00Palestinian Civil Defense teams confirmed that they
00:28:04have recovered 96 bodies and human remains
00:28:07from one location in the Zaytoun neighborhood. Among
00:28:11the bodies and remains that were recovered, there were
00:28:1458 children and 23 women.
00:28:18Most of the remains were recovered using bare
00:28:21hands, while Israel continues
00:28:24to refuse to allow the entry of heavy
00:28:27machinery needed to remove
00:28:318 bodies still under the rubble
00:28:35distributed over more than 300 buildings in the Gaza
00:28:38Strip. The teams are intervening
00:28:41on the ground in partnership with the International Committee
00:28:44of the Red Cross to extract rescue. This is, of course,
00:28:48a tiring, exhausting,
00:28:51and financially, physically, and psychologically costly
00:28:55task for civil defense crews. For his part,
00:28:58the UN High Commissioner for Human
00:29:03to press for enhanced cooperation and coordination to ensure
00:29:06the retrieval of bodies from all parts of Gaza
00:29:09as quickly as
00:29:11possible.
00:29:14Statements continue to be exchanged between Washington
00:29:18the region, in the absence of a diplomatic horizon
00:29:21capable of sparing the region and the world further escalation
00:29:25and economic repercussions, despite the efforts of mediators to contain
00:29:29the situation and bridge the gap, in the hope
00:29:32of resolving the differences between the two sides.
00:29:36Field and diplomatic developments continue on more than
00:29:40one front since the outbreak of military confrontation between the United
00:29:43States of America and Iran, amidst regional
00:29:47and international efforts to limit the expansion of
00:29:50the conflict. The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher
00:29:54Ghalibaf, confirmed that Tehran had conveyed to Washington its conditions
00:29:58for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and that it would not open
00:30:01the Strait until its conditions were met and American
00:30:04obligations were fulfilled, adding that Iran
00:30:07must fight and negotiate at the same time. This
00:30:11comes a day after statements made by the Secretary of the Supreme National
00:30:15Security Council of Iran, Mohsen Rezaei, in which he revealed
00:30:19that his country had conveyed through mediators to Washington its preconditions
00:30:23for resuming talks, which
00:30:25include ending the war on all fronts and lifting
00:30:31Iranian ports. Meanwhile, the
00:30:34Iranian armed forces stated in a statement that Tehran
00:30:38had received information indicating that the United States was preparing
00:30:41to resume combat operations. This
00:30:44comes after statements by US President Donald
00:30:48Trump, in which he confirmed that
00:30:51the war with Iran, where he must make
00:30:55a decision regarding resuming large-scale attacks
