Al-Fayez: The terrorist act will only increase Jordanians' determination to fight terrorism, extremism, and radicalism

Senate President Faisal Al-Fayez and members of the Council offered condolences, on Sunday, for the national martyrs who lost their lives as a result of the cowardly terrorist act that targeted Hammoud Church in Karak, and Al-Fayez also joined crowds of citizens in the funeral procession of the martyrs.

Al-Fayez said that the martyrs who fell as a result of this heinous crime are martyrs of the homeland in all its components, and that whoever targeted them has targeted Jordan. This crime is not an attack on Christians, but rather an attack on our society, our national unity, our shared history, and our single destiny.

He pointed out that this terrorist attack is a blatant assault that contradicts values and morals, as well as the teachings of tolerant heavenly religions and noble human values, with the aim of tampering with the national fabric between Muslims and Christians, adding: "In Jordan, we no longer just talk about coexistence, but rather about our eternal Islamic-Christian national fabric."

Al-Fayez stated that this cowardly act will not undermine Jordan's steadfastness, the determination of Jordanians, and the cohesion of our internal front, pointing out what His Majesty King Abdullah II emphasized during his visit to check on the injured and wounded, that we will firmly confront this condemned terrorist act, as His Majesty affirmed that "the blood of a Jordanian is precious, we will strike with an iron fist anyone who encroaches upon this country, and the long arm of justice will reach every terrorist."

He commended the efforts exerted by the security agencies in confronting anyone who dares to tamper with the security and stability of the homeland, emphasizing that the pursuit of spreading sedition and the desperate attempts to fracture the national ranks will shatter against the awareness and solidarity of Jordanians, and we will all remain behind His Majesty King Abdullah II in a single rank confronting anyone who attempts to tamper with the security and stability of the homeland.

Al-Fayez also affirmed that His Majesty King Abdullah II stressed that the hand of justice will reach every terrorist, that the security of Jordanians is a red line, and that there is no room for complacency regarding the lives of Jordanians, and His Majesty demanded striking with an iron fist anyone who dares to tamper with the unity, cohesion, and national fabric of Jordanians.
