Amman —

Karak in the heart of Jordan... and unity is stronger than terrorism

The assault on the lives of innocent people, anywhere and under any pretext, is a crime that cannot be justified and has no relation to humanity. When the hand of treachery reaches out to people gathering to bid farewell to their loved ones, we are facing a painful scene that goes beyond the limits of individual grief to become a cause of a nation and a society, and a defense of the human right to life, security, and dignity.

However, Jordan, which has faced many challenges throughout its history, realizes that the strength of nations is not measured by the absence of crises, but by their ability to overcome them without losing their cohesion or abandoning their values. Hence, the true response to terrorism is not through fear or division, but through awareness, unity, trust in state institutions, and holding those responsible for crimes accountable according to the law.

What Jordan needs today is to adhere to its national fabric that has brought its people together, under the umbrella of one homeland and a common destiny. Jordanians are not brought together by geography alone, but by a history of partnership and coexistence, and human and social ties that should not be undermined by a crime or extremist ideology.

In the face of such events, the responsibility of everyone stands out in rejecting hate speech, not being dragged behind rumors or circulating unreliable information, and leaving room for the competent authorities to uncover the circumstances of the incident and announce the investigation results. Protecting the homeland is a security, societal, and moral responsibility that begins with respecting human beings, promoting a culture of tolerance, and consolidating true citizenship.

To the families of the victims, we say that your affliction is the affliction of every Jordanian, and the grief you are experiencing is shared by an entire nation. We ask God for mercy for the victims and healing for the injured, and to protect Jordan and its people from all evil.

The hand of treachery may succeed in creating pain, but it will not triumph as long as Jordanians remain steadfast in their unity, believing that their security is one, their dignity is one, and their future is shared.

Karak will remain a cherished part of the heart of Jordan, and this homeland will remain stronger through the cohesion of its people, impervious to terrorism, and steadfast in the face of anyone attempting to undermine its security and stability.
