The King's Speech: The Conscience of the Nation

His Majesty's speech did not stop at the West Bank but expanded the warning circle to encompass the depth of the regional danger when His Majesty confirmed that the expansionist ambitions of the Israeli government have become a regional threat affecting the security and stability of the region. Here, Jordan's steadfast position on Jerusalem stands as the heart of the Jordanian stance and a firm pillar of its constants, which reflect the Hashemite custodianship over Islamic and Christian holy sites as a historical trust and ongoing responsibility that Jordan carries and preserves, alongside supporting the steadfastness of the Palestinians and continuing to support UNRWA in fulfilling its duties towards Palestinian refugees, so that the Palestinian issue and Jerusalem remain present in the firm Jordanian stance that does not accept humiliation, appeasement, or submission.

From the compass of Jerusalem to the compass of Jordan, His Majesty's speech carried a clear language of security and rejection of any threat to our northern borders and our water security, considering it a threat to our national security. Jordan is capable of protecting its security, water, and the interests of its people. The Jordanian diplomacy that chose dialogue has never meant complacency in protecting the homeland or retreating in the face of challenges. It is a diplomacy that knows when to build bridges of dialogue and when to draw lines that should not be crossed. Jordan, at the same time, is moving on two parallel tracks between facing urgent crises and protecting its borders, confronting terrorism, drug smuggling, and developing its defense capabilities, and between continuing to build the future and enhancing its ability to withstand in a region that does not easily grant stability.

From Jordan to its regional neighborhood, the circle of the royal speech expanded to stop at Syria as a warning that the international community should not continue to ignore, and to confirm that what is happening in the region is no longer a matter confined within the borders of countries. The Iran war has shown how quickly the effects of instability are transmitted to the movement of trade, investment, and the lives of people outside the region's borders. Jordan continues to face this turbulent region by building a model based on the value of constants and the principle of openness in dialogue with everyone, affirming that the language of dialogue, diplomatic movement, and coordination with brothers and partners remain essential tools for protecting interests and enhancing opportunities for peace and stability.

His Majesty's speech ends, but its echo remains beyond the limits of the podium because what was said was not passing words that end with the end of the speech, but a national Jordanian position carrying clarity of vision, steadfastness of principle, and the ability of a presence capable of steering the compass in the right direction, carrying the issues of Jordan and the nation to the world with the language of one who is confident in his position and adheres to his constants, affirming that Jordan, although small in geography, grows with its positions and leaves its mark with its presence, so that our trust in His Majesty remains the title of the scene that overflows with feelings of pride with words carrying Jordan's message and positions that preserve its constants. We see in His Majesty and his presence an extension of our homeland's presence, and in his voice, the image of Jordan when it speaks with confidence and stands firmly, and our love for His Majesty, loyalty to him, belonging to Jordan, and pride in its leadership remain steadfast feelings in the soul of a nation that preserves its banner, keeps its constants, and moves forward with its head held high, for here is Jordan and here is His Majesty the King.
