In this context, the importance of His Majesty linking the immunity of the internal front to the status of Parliament and the principle that the people are the source of powers becomes clear. Political participation, parliamentary representation, and effective oversight strengthen the state and give citizens confidence that their demands find their way to institutions, and that differences of opinion contribute to correcting policies and improving decisions as long as the national interest is the goal.
From our position in the House of Representatives, this message places us before the responsibility of arranging our priorities according to the needs of the people, following up on issues of employment, services, and the cost of living, and holding the government accountable for implementing its pledges and the reasons for any delays. Furthermore, the royal warning regarding the behavior and discourse of Parliament calls for managing differences with logic, information, and respect, in a way that preserves the status of the House and enhances its impact on public life.
This requires that cooperation between the two branches be based on clear responsibilities; the government executes, while the House legislates and oversees. Agreement on national priorities must be coupled with serious monitoring of performance, requesting specific answers, and evaluating the impact of decisions before they are approved and after they are implemented, in a way that protects the interests of citizens and gives parliamentary work clear practical value.
Related to this is the message of the rule of law and the rejection of the abuse of office. Public office is a responsibility to serve citizens, and the prestige of the state is strengthened by the fairness of procedures and equality in their application, as well as the public's assurance that influence does not grant preferential treatment. It is the duty of the House to monitor the performance of institutions, address complaints, and hold the negligent accountable, because the daily experience of the citizen with the administration constitutes a fundamental aspect of their trust in the state.
Economically, the call to accelerate major projects shifts the responsibility to the field of implementation, requiring the monitoring of completion dates, addressing obstacles, and measuring results. The real value of these projects is determined by their ability to provide job opportunities, improve services, and ensure that the benefits of development reach the governorates, which should govern our parliamentary discussions and our oversight of government spending and performance.
The royal emphasis on water security gains exceptional importance due to the link between water and social stability and the continuity of economic activity. This requires monitoring strategic projects, the efficiency of resource management, preparation for risks, and ensuring that these efforts are reflected in the regularity and fairness of service. Protecting the water needs of Jordanians is a national responsibility that requires constant planning and precise implementation.
At the regional level, the speech affirmed the steadfast Jordanian position towards Palestinian rights and the danger of Israeli expansionist ambitions, reflecting the interconnection between the future of the Palestinian cause and the security of the region. In my reading, strengthening Jordan’s internal power expands its ability to defend its interests and support the Palestinian people, making national cohesion, institutional efficiency, and development supporting elements for its political position.
This is completed by affirming the citizens' right to discuss public affairs and respect for difference, which obligates us to provide a serious space for opinion and to transform legitimate demands into institutional work. The Speech from the Throne has set the priorities, and the test for the government and Parliament remains in translating them into legislation that responds to needs, oversight that monitors implementation, projects completed on time, services that improve, and results that Jordanians feel in their daily lives.
