People around the country woke up on Saturday morning to the
news of an unprecedented operation by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. As
news and videos of incursions into occupied lands by sea, air and ground began
to spread on social media, so too did the outpouring of support from the
Jordanian people. Knafeh was handed out in the streets, as protesters encircled
the Israeli embassy in Amman calling for the end of the occupation.

Jordan News spoke with Jordanian politicians, parties, and
officials to gather their opinions and better understand the reaction within
the county.
A crushing victory for the Palestinians and Palestinian
resistance
In interviews conducted by
Jordan News with Jordanian
politicians and officials, they unanimously agreed that this battle will be a
turning point in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and that this attack was
unprecedented. The director of Al Quds Center for Political Studies Oraib
Al-Rantawi told
Jordan News that the battle in its first hours recorded a
crushing victory for the Palestinians and the Palestinian resistance.
“The attack was sudden and managed to outmaneuver the
Israeli intelligence services, both human and technological,” said Al-Rantawi.
“The resistance was distinguished by its ingenuity in
large-scale aerial bombardment, and this attack was bold and courageous. The
incursions were all over the Gaza envelope and beyond the Gaza envelope. This
attack is unparalleled and unprecedented.”
Rantawi added that this is a Palestinian-Arab epic that is
recorded in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, which extends for more
than 100 years.
“It is expected that Israel will escalate the air
interceptions in the Gaza Strip, where it will strike civilian targets and
infrastructure, and it will adopt the southern suburbs strategy in dealing with
Gaza, as it did in 2006, to create a gap between Hezbollah and its social
base,” he said.
“They are trying to break the connection between the
Palestinian resistance and its popular incubator, and they do not want to lose
as they lost in previous times. Therefore, the Gazans may pay a heavy price
this time in terms of the destruction of infrastructure and killing.”
Rantawi Explained that Israel does not take into account or
distinguish between civilian and military targets and may seek to restore the
settlers’ dignity through destruction, sabotage and displacement through the
bombing of the Gaza Strip.
He said it was expected that the thousands of missiles that
were launched today will continue to be launched in the coming days as the
resistance drones are deployed against
the fighters and tanks.
“This development is qualitative and unprecedented, and we
are facing surprises, the file is open, and the possibilities are heading
toward escalation.”
A prediction that the escalation would go beyond the Gaza
Strip
Rantawi predicted that the escalation would go beyond the
Gaza Strip to reach the West Bank and the 1948 areas, and perhaps extend to
historical Palestine and the neighboring countries, starting with Lebanon.
“As for calm, at the present time there may be no way to
calm, but rather the most prominent headline is the Israeli escalation and the
surprises that the resistance hides. However, there is information that has not
yet been confirmed that Hamas made an offer to the Israelis through Cairo to
release the children and women detained in the Gaza Strip by the Israelis in
exchange for Israel to stop bombing civilian targets”he said.
“I believe that (Israel) will not accept this proposal, as
it does not care about civilians, neither Jews nor Palestinians, it wants to
regain some of its lost prestige, which the resistance men tried to bury in the
mud, as we have seen.”
The attack was a precise plan
Strategic Security expert Omar Raddad, he told
Jordan News,
“it is clear that the attack was according to a precise plan by the Qassam
Brigades and through elements.”
“This is the first time we see military groups inside the
settlements.”
He explained this specific operation revealed that the
intelligence system is fragile and not prepared for this scenario and added
resistance has new tactics, for example, human access to different areas and
cutting the fence between Gaza and the 48 areas.
“This reflects the cumulative construction of the
resistance. It is expected that in the next few days we will see drones,
different types of missiles, and development in weapons and strategies,” he
said.
Palestinians have had enough
Meanwhile, former Deputy Prime Minister Mamdouh Al-Abadi
told
Jordan News that the Palestinians in general, and Gaza in particular,
after the advent of this extremist government and the presence of Jewish
popular extremism, reached the point where the Palestinian people, who live in
poverty, difficult conditions, and restrictions, reached a stage of tension. He
said the reaction was a harsh, painful,
and unprecedented blow to the Israeli side.
He added this attack is a turning point in the Arab-Israeli
conflict and can be added to the October War in1973 and the Battle of
Al-Karameh. He indicated that Jordan, which pledged Hashemite custodianship and
care for Al-Aqsa, must hold an emergency Arab summit.
What is happening is not surprising
Secretary General of Jordan Labor Party Rula Al-Hroob told
Jordan News that what happened was not surprising. The observer of public
policy could predict such a major event and she expected it to remain open to
all sides, where there were unjust Israeli policies, including extreme
dissolution and political and spatial replacement. She said what was surprising
was the power of attack and creativity in the strategies followed.
Hroub stressed that a statement was issued by the National
Forum to Support the Resistance. The statement includes a call to create a
popular Jordanian front to support Al-Aqsa, calling for the abolition of the
political, economic and normalization agreements and laws that criminalize
resistance, so that Jordan returns to its natural role in confronting the
occupation in line with the popular position clearly expressed in popular
activities.
She said that what the Palestinian resistance did could
become a turning point in the record of the conflict, but it needs the support
of the Arab people and the unification of all resistance forces regionally,
which can change all equations and pave the way for creating a more just
reality.
The Secretary-General of the Islamic Action Front Party,
Murad Al-Adaileh, stated that the "Flood of Al-Aqsa" is a response to
Arab dignity, calling on Jordanians to be partners in liberation. He added that
this battle should involve the entire nation, and staying at home is a betrayal
of the martyrs' blood. He emphasized that this battle should include Arabs,
Muslims, nationalists, and tribal members. He called on the Jordanian
government to open the borders and expel the Israeli ambassador from Jordan.
