Qalqilya Council: Targeting places of worship and safe citizens is a crime that affects all Jordanians

The Qalqilya Council condemns in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist crime that targeted Hamoud Church in Karak Governorate, which claimed the lives of a number of citizens and injured others, in a rejected criminal assault that contradicts human and national values and targets the security, stability, and unity of Jordan and its people.

The Council affirms that targeting houses of worship and safe citizens is a crime that affects all Jordanians, and does not target a specific place or group alone, but rather represents an assault on the Jordanian national fabric and the values of brotherhood and coexistence that have always formed one of the pillars of the strength of the Jordanian state and the cohesion of its society.

The Council reaffirms its steadfast support for His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al-Hussein bin Abdullah II, and its pride in the wisdom of the Hashemite leadership in protecting the security and stability of the nation, stressing that Jordanians will remain united in the face of terrorism, extremism, and all attempts to sow division and strife, and that the unity and cohesion of the Jordanian people will remain resilient against all who attempt to undermine it.

The Council also affirms its confidence in the efforts of the security services and their competence in performing their duty, pursuing those involved, and bringing them to justice in accordance with the provisions of the law, calling on everyone to exercise national responsibility, obtain information from its official sources, and not circulate rumors or unreliable information.

The Qalqilya Council extends its sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the families of the victims and their relatives, and to our people in Karak Governorate, asking God to shower the victims with His vast mercy, grant the injured a speedy recovery, and protect Jordan and its people from all harm.

May God protect Jordan and its Hashemite leadership, perpetuate the blessing of security and stability upon it, and protect its united people.
