The report discussed the contents of the Royal Designation Letter addressed by King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein to Jordanian Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan on September 15, 2024, to form a new government. The designation followed the conclusion of the twentieth House of Representatives elections held on September 10.
The report delved into the designation letter's most significant contents. These included the elections conducted under a new election law, a pivotal development that emerged from the recommendations of the Royal Committee for Modernizing the Political System in Jordan on 3/10/2021. This law, which allocated 30% of its seats to political parties, marks a significant shift in our political landscape.
The designation also addressed the perilous developments witnessed in Palestine, particularly the genocide committed by the Israeli army in Gaza and the West Bank. These actions have far-reaching repercussions on Jordanian security and politics, necessitating utmost vigilance and concern.
The report concluded that the royal directives in the designation letter underscored our unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause. They focused on internal political affairs and some economic files related to mining, attracting investments, and developing infrastructure. However, the most significant emphasis was on the constants of Jordanian foreign policy, especially its continued support for the Palestinian people against Israeli aggression and occupation.
