Their remarks were made as
Parliament met at its old building in a special session to mark the Kingdom’s
centenary. The gathering came after Saturday night’s announcement of intensive

others “for security reasons”.

Al-Fayez stressed that Jordan and the King are a “red line”, and that the
Kingdom will rise up to respond firmly to “every trembling hand that would mess
with its security”.
Speaker of the Lower House
Abdul-Munem Al-Oudat said the security operation Saturday was a “decisive
response to attempts at Jordan’s security and stability”.
Representing the judicial power,
President of the Higher Judicial Council Mohammad Al-Ghazo, said that Jordan
has always overcome the obstacles it has faced and emerged every time more
resilient “thanks to the wisdom of its leaders and the determination of its
people”.
Deputy Prime Minister Tawfiq
Kreishan delivered an address on behalf of Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh,
in which he said that the Jordanian state and people are the inheritors of the
Great Arab Revolt, stressing that the country has never “alienated any
political component or opposition figure”.
