Nidal Al-Majali
A question repeats itself in nearly every household as the end of the month approaches. It may seem simple, but it actually carries behind it an entire social and economic story.
I decided to listen to Netanyahu's speech and haven't witnessed such an absurd political scene in a long time. A man standing on the podium of the United Nations to address the world, while the world itself almost decides to walk out of the hall!
Everyone wrote about His Majesty the King’s speech at the United Nations. They wrote about what he said, what he meant to say, and the political and humanitarian messages the speech conveyed to the world, as well as what lay between the lines and behind the words.
The issue of tourism today is no longer just about how we attract tourists to Jordan, but about how we manage the entire tourism system, and how we ensure that growth in visitor numbers translates into sustainable economic growth whose impact benefits the state, the investor, and the local community.
Not every royal directive is simply an addition to the government's agenda. Some directives reorder priorities and push the state to look at an old file with fresh eyes, and this is how we can read His Majesty King Abdullah II's directive to the government to develop an integrated, unified national strategy for climate finance, in cooperation with the private sector.
In politics, slogans alone are not enough to present political parties to the public, nor are grand headlines enough to prove commitment to principles. The real test for any political party begins when political interests come into conflict with the requirements of the law, and when respecting the rules becomes harder than merely talking about them.
Not everything a government carries out is a "state project," and not every government initiative deserves that title. "State projects" are those that outlast the lifespan of any single government, whose effects reach the people, whose results remain in their lives, and which bring about real change in society.
I read your article published in Foreign Policy magazine under the title "Where Is King Abdullah?" — a title that raises a striking question about the presence of His Majesty King Abdullah II in the political and media landscape. Any writer or international observer has every right to ask questions about the performance and visibility of leaders, and to discuss their choices and responsibilities.
Not every royal visit is merely a stop on the foreign policy calendar. Some take place at a moment when the question is bigger than the visit itself: Where does Jordan want to be when the shape of the world changes?
Not every occasion can be repeated, nor does every event carry the symbolism that makes it a milestone in the world’s collective memory. The celebration marking two thousand years since the baptism of Jesus Christ is not merely a religious occasion or a tourism event; it is an exceptional global event that places Jordan before a historic responsibility and presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase the site that witnessed one of the most significant moments in Christian history.
