Amman —

May your hands perish..

The pursuit of terrorism has failed, and the gamble of treachery has fallen before the steadfastness and unity of Jordanians. Jordan, whose sons have forged an equation of resilience and cohesion over decades of challenges, will not be shaken by a cowardly bullet, and the will of its people will not allow any extremist ideology to divide its ranks or tamper with its security and stability. We will confront terrorism with all firmness, we will hold accountable everyone who targets the lives and security of Jordanians, and this nation will remain resistant to all attempts at sedition and sabotage.

May your hands perish, you who targeted Jordanians in a house of worship, and imagined that the blood of the innocent could sow fear in the souls of Jordanians or open a gap in the wall of their unity. You have miscalculated this people; for Jordanians, who are united by land, identity, and destiny, are stronger than your schemes and more aware than to be dragged into the sedition that terrorism seeks to ignite.

From the north of the country to its south, and from its east to its west, Jordanians stand as one rank, partners in land, stance, and responsibility, united by a firm national bond that cannot be undermined by acts of treachery, nor weakened by attempts to spread hatred and division. The unity of Jordanian society will remain the first line of defense for the nation, and a support for the state's strength and its ability to protect its citizens and confront every threat targeting their security and dignity.

Targeting citizens in houses of worship is a crime that reveals an extremist ideology that violates blood, infringes upon human sanctity, and is hostile to the values of religion, the principles of humanity, and the right of people to security and worship in peace. Confronting this ideology requires a firm national stance that combines law enforcement and the pursuit of those involved, with drying up the sources of extremism, strengthening societal awareness, and protecting the national fabric from any discourse that incites hatred or seeks to sow discord among the sons of the same nation.

The blood of a Jordanian is precious, and the security and stability of the nation are a responsibility that does not accept complacency. Everyone who attacks citizens or threatens the safety of society must face justice and be held accountable according to the law, in a way that preserves people's rights, maintains the prestige of the state, and confirms that the lives and security of Jordanians are above all considerations.

Jordan will remain united and impregnable, and Jordanians will remain resistant to terrorism and sedition. This land unites us, this nation is a trust upon our necks, and treachery will have no foothold among its sons.

May your hands perish, for Jordan is stronger than your terrorism, its people are tougher than your schemes, and its unity is resistant to breaking.

Eternity to the martyrs, deepest condolences and sympathy to their families, a speedy recovery to the injured, and patience and strength to their families and loved ones.
