His Majesty described Jordanians with their authentic and precious qualities that they rightfully possess, which are the source of His Majesty's trust in them under all circumstances, represented by their permanent national awareness and their wisdom in times of challenge, and that sincerity and loyalty are their habit, no matter how severe the tribulations.
The King’s speech affirmed the principles and constants of Arabist Jordan—which it never deviates from—towards its nation and its causes by supporting and backing them, just as the late King Hussein did, and as His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein will do; this is the constant habit of the Hashemites, emphasizing the Jordanian approach and its compass, which is the unified Arab position to protect their causes.
Always, the central cause of Jordan, "Palestine," was never absent from His Majesty’s speech, emphasizing that the expansionist ambitions of Israel and its continuous aggression are the greatest threat to the future of the region, and reiterating Jordan’s firm positions regarding the Palestinian cause and the right of the Palestinian people to realize their legitimate rights. This is the narrative of Palestinian justice that His Majesty always carries to all regional and international forums; in this, His Majesty exposed the Israeli illusion syndrome, represented by the illusion of legitimacy derived from tyranny, the erasing of truth with the passage of time, and the illusion that Jordan would retreat from its principles.
His Majesty’s description of Parliament as the foundational pillar, and the reminder that Parliament is the source of powers and the fountainhead of its strength, signifies the importance of the relationship between the branches of government on this basis. This principle is the source of the strength of the nation’s internal front and its ability to defend the interests of its nation, and that the strength of Parliament is realized when the interest of the nation is the goal, even if there is a difference of opinion.
His Majesty’s speech carried clear messages to the government regarding the necessity for the citizen to feel the impact of development in education, health, and opportunities. Development is not just numbers and slogans, stressing the importance of major economic projects and the speed of their completion as they enhance the nation’s resilience.
His Majesty’s focus on water projects carried firm and decisive messages due to their strategic and sovereign importance, ensuring that Jordan and the thirst of Jordanians are not held hostage to any circumstance, pointing to external threats and attempts to blackmail the Kingdom on the water file or pressure it, as it is a supreme national interest that cannot be compromised.
His Majesty’s speech sent a clear message to every official that public service is a mandate for work, not a badge of honor, and that achievement and serving Jordanians are the criteria for an official’s remaining in their position, strengthening the rule of law, and that they are subject to accountability, as there is no protection for the wrongdoer.
In conclusion, the Speech from the Throne acquires great importance for what Jordan must always be: safe, stable, and resilient, no matter how circumstances and challenges multiply, supported by the strength of the nation and its pillars of power that enable it to open broad horizons for the future with full competence and capability.
