AMMAN — The student bloc "Ahel Al-Himma" at the
University of Jordan, the country's largest university, has officially
announced the withdrawal of more than 100 Jordanian students from this year's
"Hult Prize" global competition. This decision is a direct response
to the participation of universities from the occupying state. The bloc takes
this stance in solidarity with the Palestinian people in both Gaza and the
occupied West Bank.

In a notable move, 30 Jordanian teams that were initially
nominated for the prestigious global competition have declined to participate.
This collective action follows the controversial decision to include
universities from the Israeli occupation in the event, Quds Press reported.
The "Hult Prize" stands out as one of the most
significant annual competitions for university students on a global scale.
Throughout the year, students contribute ideas after facing challenges aimed at
addressing urgent global issues such as food security, water access, energy,
and education. The competition aligns with one of the United Nations' global
development goals each year.
This principled stand by the "Ahel Al-Himma" bloc
underscores its commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause. The decision
reflects a rejection of any form of collaboration with entities associated with
the occupying state. The bloc emphasizes the importance of solidarity with the
Palestinian people, particularly in light of ongoing challenges, including the
recent series of tragic events in Gaza and the West Bank.
