A balanced national movement

Youth activist Hamza Khader said, “The movement in support of the people in the Gaza Strip has not stopped since the first day of the aggression. It is not an artificial movement, and those who called for it were the Youth Gathering to Support the Resistance, and the National Forum to Support the Resistance, which includes prominent Jordanian parties and figures.”

In his speech to Al Jazeera Net, Khader rejected the accusations leveled at the movement that it had foreign agendas. He also rejected any attempt to question the patriotism of the demonstrators and their love for Jordan. He added: “Those who take to the streets in support of Gaza represent political parties with an extended history of struggle.”

The youth activist pointed out that the whole world recently followed the Jordanian movement near the occupation embassy, ​​because it raised clear political headlines about the necessity of besieging the Israeli embassy as long as the occupation besieges Al-Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip, and as long as it besieges the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Khader pointed out that “the American and Israeli newspapers covered the activities of the Israeli embassy with much interest and anger, and this is due to the success, strength and influence of this youth movement. The popular movement gathered tens of thousands of demonstrators daily for more than 10 consecutive days, and this is the Jordanians’ message that resistance represents the first line of defense.” About Jordan and Jordan’s interests, and the Palestinian issue for us is an internal Jordanian matter that cannot be avoided.”

Youth activist Muhammad Abu Rumman did not deviate from Khader’s theses, stressing that “the youth sector to support the resistance in Jordan - which brings together leftists and Islamists - aims to push Jordan to sever its relations with the Zionist enemy, and stop exporting vegetables to the occupation,” indicating in his interview with Al Jazeera Net that "The Palestine issue is a local Jordanian issue."

Electronic interaction

Abu Rumman pointed out that “the daily vigils near the Israeli embassy in Amman angered the Israeli enemy, which prompted the occupation to move its tools to attack the movement through Israeli Unit 8200, which aims to destabilize Jordan and create strife among the components of one society, to divert the Jordanians from their goal.” The main thing is to confront the Israeli project on the land of Palestine, and this means that our movement is influential, and therefore it is continuing.”

In conjunction with the increasing Jordanian street movement supporting Gaza, and the Jordanians besieging the Tel Aviv embassy in the capital, Amman, a Jordanian security source confirmed: “The existence of thousands of fake accounts targeting Jordan’s security and stability, and playing to spread discord and division among members of Jordanian society.”

The security official added that the source of the majority of accounts are from other and regional countries, explaining that "these accounts repeat such attacks at different periods, according to the general mood in the Jordanian street, which has risen more during the past days."

The source pointed out that "a large number of these accounts operate under the instructions of the Israeli Unit 8200, one of the most prominent corps in the Israeli occupation army, as it includes the elite minds of the occupation, and provides the military system with all the information it needs about the targeted parties."

Convulsive language, mutual accusations, militancy, and incitement have become the hallmark of Jordanian conversation on the X platform, and there are those who are pushing to divide society and intimidate it.


Reasonable people in the state and society must take the initiative to stop this farce. The exchanges and accusations that occur do not serve Jordan, but rather serve the Zionist project in the region.
