In the midst of this pain, the Hashemite stance was manifested with its deep human and national meanings; as His Majesty King Abdullah II’s follow-up on the conditions of the injured and his standing by their side embodied the leadership’s concern for the people of the nation, while the royal follow-up on their health conditions and needs continued, and consolation extended to the families of the victims and the relatives of the injured. Furthermore, the follow-up of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and the interest of the Royal Hashemite Court in the families of the victims and the injured reflected the leadership’s keenness that those affected find in their homeland and leadership a support in moments of pain, and that they feel their affliction is not the affliction of their families alone, but the affliction of all of Jordan.
The value of this stance does not lie only in its symbolism, but in its humanitarian message which confirms that the citizen is the focus of attention, that their dignity and safety deserve every care, and that the leadership and society meet at the duty of consolation, solidarity, and standing by those affected. When the hand of consolation extends to the families of the victims, and the conditions and needs of the injured are followed up, the meanings of responsibility and compassion are embodied, and the feeling is consolidated that Jordanians, regardless of their locations and circumstances, are united by one homeland and a common destiny.
