Postponement of the "Salt: History and Civilization" National Day event

The executive committee for the "Salt: History and Civilization" National Day celebration announced the postponement of the event, which was scheduled to be held tomorrow, Saturday, following the heinous attack that targeted a church in Karak, resulting in the loss of innocent lives from our dear homeland.

The statement said, "While we express our deep sadness and regret for this painful tragedy, we extend our sincerest condolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs. We ask God Almighty to shower them with His vast mercy, grant their families patience and solace, and wish the injured a speedy recovery."

The statement added that what affects any individual of this nation affects everyone, and that the unity and cohesion of Jordanians, both Muslims and Christians, will remain the safety valve and the pillar of strength in confronting everything that touches the security, stability, and authentic national fabric of the homeland.

It stated that the postponement of this event comes as an expression of our national and humanitarian duty, in respect for the sanctity of Jordanian blood and the national tragedy, and as an affirmation that national celebrations are inseparable from the feelings of the nation's people, and that standing by our people in their sorrows is a duty dictated by our humanity, values, morals, and belonging to Jordan.

The statement added, "We also affirm our pride in our Hashemite leadership, our loyalty to His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II, and our standing as one rank behind our leadership in protecting Jordan's security and stability."

We express our confidence in our security services and national institutions in performing their duty, uncovering the circumstances of the incident, pursuing those responsible for it, enforcing the law, and achieving justice, in a way that preserves the security and dignity of citizens and safeguards the stability of the homeland.

May God protect Jordan and its people, perpetuate the blessing of security and stability upon it, have mercy on the innocent martyrs, grant their families patience and solace, and grant the injured a speedy recovery.
