President of the Senate offers condolences for the nation's martyrs in Karak

President of the Senate Faisal Al-Fayez and members of the Council offered their condolences today, Sunday, for the nation's martyrs who lost their lives as a result of the cowardly terrorist act that targeted Hamoud Church in Karak. Al-Fayez also joined the crowds of citizens in the funeral procession of the martyrs.

In press statements, Al-Fayez said that the martyrs who died as a result of this heinous crime are martyrs of the entire nation with all its components, and that whoever targeted them targeted Jordan. This crime is not an attack on Christians, but an attack on our society, our national unity, our shared history, and our common destiny.

He emphasized that this terrorist act will only increase the determination of Jordanians to fight the forces of terrorism, extremism, and radicalism, to defeat them and crush them in their lairs, so that Jordan remains resilient against attempts to tamper with its security. Furthermore, this terrorist attack is a blatant assault that contradicts our values and morals, as well as the teachings of the tolerant monotheistic religions and noble human values. Its goal is to tamper with the national fabric between Muslims and Christians; in Jordan, we no longer speak only of coexistence, but of our eternal Islamic-Christian national fabric.

Al-Fayez indicated that this cowardly act will not undermine Jordan's steadfastness, the determination of Jordanians, or the cohesion of our internal front, pointing to what His Majesty King Abdullah II emphasized during his visit to the injured and wounded to check on them, that we will confront this strongly condemned terrorist act. His Majesty affirmed that "the blood of a Jordanian is precious, and we will strike with an iron fist anyone who dares to attack this country, and the hand of justice will reach every terrorist."

He valued the efforts made by the security services in confronting anyone who dares to tamper with the security and stability of the nation, stressing that the pursuit of spreading sedition and the desperate attempts to divide the national ranks will shatter against the awareness and cohesion of Jordanians. We will all remain behind His Majesty King Abdullah II in one rank, facing anyone who attempts to tamper with the security and stability of the nation.

Al-Fayez affirmed that His Majesty King Abdullah II emphasized that the hand of justice will reach every terrorist, that the security of Jordanians is a red line, and that there is no room for leniency regarding the lives of Jordanians. His Majesty demanded striking with an iron fist anyone who dares to tamper with the unity, cohesion, and national fabric of Jordanians.
