AMMAN — Growing
boycott campaigns in Jordan have taken a worrying turn, jeopardizing the
employment of hundreds of Jordanians. Initially intended as a form of protest,
they have now become arbitrary and unfair, putting the livelihoods of workers
at risk, according to a government source that has been reported by Petra News
Agency.

The source
explained that some people have been drawn into broadening the circle of
accusation to include international and local brands and companies under the
guise of supporting the occupation without providing any evidence, and that the
goal may be to restrict or remove those brands from the market in order to
increase profits for those who make these accusations.
They further
emphasized, “This disarray in the boycott will have a severe influence on
workers who have become victims of randomness, far from accuracy and
objectivity, and captives of speculation for solely business reasons, far from
the viewpoint on the Israeli aggression on Gaza.”
Furthermore,
the official authorities are compelled to address the boycott calls, as silence
could lead to more workers facing unemployment. The government's priority is to
safeguard the national economy's resilience and strength, resisting attempts to
induce a domestic financial crisis. A robust Jordan, with a thriving economy,
is better equipped to support its Palestinian brothers.
The
boycott's figures will have a detrimental impact on the labor market and the
national economy, and threaten hundreds of Jordanians' jobs and threaten the
treasury with a loss of tens of millions of dinars (tax revenues).
According to
the source, it is striving to mitigate the economic consequences of Israel's
aggression, which has caused a complex political and economic crisis, since the
tourism sector in the Kingdom, which is the backbone of economic growth, has
been directly impacted due to the region's stereotyped image as a result of the
ongoing war.
The source
calls for voices of reason and moderation, emphasizing the need to balance
popular will with national economic requirements. Striking this balance is
crucial to avoid catastrophic fallout when the Israeli aggression eventually
comes to an end.
