The President of the General Union of Voluntary Societies, Amer Al-Khawaldeh, emphasized the importance of strengthening national unity and solidarity among the Jordanian people, and standing as one in the face of terrorism and extremism to preserve the nation's security and stability and safeguard the cohesion of its social fabric.
Al-Khawaldeh added, while sponsoring the activities of the solidarity stand organized by the Union of Voluntary Societies in Jerash Governorate today, Tuesday, in solidarity with the Karak martyrs, that this event embodies the national stance rejecting all forms of violence and attacks on innocents and places of worship, and expresses the solidarity and cohesion of Jordanians in facing challenges.
Al-Khawaldeh valued the efforts of His Majesty King Abdullah II and the security services in protecting the security of the nation and citizens, stressing the importance of rallying around the Hashemite leadership, strengthening the spirit of national responsibility, and consolidating the values of citizenship, tolerance, and rejecting hate speech.
Al-Khawaldeh indicated that voluntary work is not far from national and human values, but rather constitutes a fundamental pillar in enhancing social solidarity and consolidating the spirit of belonging and responsibility among members of society, pointing to the role of voluntary societies in organizing initiatives that promote national unity and brotherhood among Jordanians and support efforts aimed at maintaining the nation's security and stability.
MP Shifa Al-Maqableh emphasized the importance of national solidarity in confronting attacks that target the security and stability of society, noting that the unity and cohesion of Jordanians constitute a fundamental pillar in protecting the nation and enhancing its ability to face challenges.
The Director of Social Development in Jerash, Manal Abu Ghazleh, said that the stand reflects the spirit of solidarity and mutual support among members of society, and confirms the importance of the role of official and civil institutions in spreading a culture of tolerance and brotherhood, and enhancing societal awareness of the dangers of extremism and hatred.
The President of the Union of Voluntary Societies in Jerash, Zaid Al-Zaboun, expressed his pride in the participation of community actors in this stand, confirming that voluntary societies play an important role in enhancing social cohesion and consolidating the values of belonging and loyalty to the nation and the Hashemite leadership.
He pointed out that the solidarity stand embodies the unified national position rejecting terrorism and extremism and reflects the keenness of voluntary societies and civil society institutions to promote the values of brotherhood and tolerance and to stand by the people of the nation in various circumstances.
He added that the role of voluntary societies is not limited to providing humanitarian and social assistance, but extends to enhancing national awareness and consolidating a culture of dialogue and acceptance of the other, stressing the importance of concerted official and popular efforts in confronting everything that would undermine the unity of Jordanian society, confirming that Jordan will remain strong through the cohesion of its people and their rallying around the Hashemite leadership and the security services.
Father Jeries Samirat said that attacking places of worship contradicts religious and human values, emphasizing the importance of protecting the sanctity of holy places and promoting a culture of dialogue and mutual respect, praising the efforts of His Majesty King Abdullah II and the security services in maintaining Jordan's security and stability.
A number of participants expressed their solidarity with the families of the martyrs and the people of Karak Governorate, valuing the efforts of the security services in performing their national duty and calling for the continuation of community initiatives that promote national unity, tolerance, and coexistence.
The stand also included a minute of silence in mourning for the Karak martyrs. The Union of Voluntary Societies in Jerash, on behalf of the charitable sector in the governorate, presented a shield to Father Samirat inscribed with phrases expressing sympathy for the families of the martyrs, with prayers for Jordan to remain safe and stable under its Hashemite leadership.
The stand started from in front of the Union of Voluntary Societies building in Jerash towards the Greek Orthodox Church, with the participation of official and popular figures, representatives of voluntary societies, and members of the local community.
