Jordan First… and Its Security Above All Considerations

Mohieddin Ghunaim – Jordan
At a time when storms sweep across the region, tensions escalate, interests collide, and fires burn close to our borders, Jordan remains steadfast like a rock against the wind. A nation small in size, yet immense in its principles; great in its leadership and unbreakable in the will of its people.
Jordan’s security is not a slogan to be raised nor a phrase written in a statement. It is a deeply rooted national doctrine and a red line that cannot be crossed under any circumstances. Its security is the dignity of its people, the stability of its institutions, the safety of its borders, the reassurance of its mothers, and the future of its children. Therefore, standing united behind the wise Hashemite leadership is a national duty that allows no hesitation and accepts no compromise.
Experience has proven that when this nation rallies around its leadership, it becomes an impregnable fortress. Its internal unity is its strongest weapon in the face of all challenges. His Majesty King Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein, with his political wisdom and strategic vision, steers the ship of the nation through turbulent waves with firmness and responsibility, placing Jordan’s interests above all else and prioritizing the security of its citizens and the stability of the state over any other consideration.
We are not seekers of noise nor lovers of crises. We are citizens of a state that knows how to protect itself and manage its challenges with the mind of a state, not the emotion of the moment. In light of the recent tensions in the region, the need for internal cohesion, public awareness, the voice of wisdom, and the rejection of rumors and attempts to spread discord or anxiety has never been greater.
This stage requires all of us—people and institutions alike—to rise to the level of responsibility. To trust our armed forces and security agencies, to give our leadership full support, and to understand that Jordan’s strength lies in its unity, and that any internal fracture is the most dangerous gift to those who lie in wait against the nation.
Jordan has never been an open arena, and it never will be. It is a state of deeply rooted institutions, grounded in a history of moderation, wisdom, and balance. In decisive moments, the authentic character of Jordanians shines through: unity around the flag, loyalty to the homeland, and awareness of the magnitude of the challenge.
Today, more than ever, we say it clearly and unequivocally:
Jordan first… and its security above all considerations.
Standing behind His Majesty the King is not merely a political choice, but a national commitment to protect our shared home from every passing storm and to safeguard the future of the generations to come.
May God protect Jordan—its leadership and its people—and perpetuate upon it the blessings of security and stability.
