AMMAN — Prominent

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to invite Jordan to become member of the

necessity”, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

In a piece published by Al-Shraq Daily, the
veteran writer said: “The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is the Gulf’s northern
flank and an impregnable shield against all those who harbor evil against the
people of the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula”.
He went on to say: “The national and security
duty requires us to make Jordan an integral part of the Gulf Cooperation
Council. The Jordanian people are tribally and ethnically linked to the Gulf
and the Arabian Peninsula,” Misfir added.
Misfer explained, “It is true that Jordan has scarce
natural resources, but there are creative minds in the fields of education,
health, organization and administration,” calling on council members to support
Jordan financially because this will benefit both sides.
