The gathering expressed solidarity with the families of the victims and those injured, while reaffirming the ministry’s rejection of all forms of terrorism and extremism that threaten Jordan’s security, stability, and social fabric.

Speaking at the gathering, Smirat stressed that the cowardly terrorist attack was an assault on Jordan as a whole and an attempt to undermine its security, stability, and national unity. He emphasized that such criminal acts would only strengthen Jordanians’ solidarity, resilience, and determination to protect their country.

He added that the awareness of the Jordanian people, their unity, and their unwavering support for the Hashemite leadership would remain a strong barrier against terrorism, extremism, and attempts to spread fear and division.

Smirat stated that Jordan’s firm stance against terrorism and extremism draws its strength from the decisive directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II, His Majesty’s direct follow-up on the developments surrounding the terrorist attack, and his visit to Karak Governorate to check on the injured.

He noted that these actions reflect the Hashemite leadership’s longstanding commitment to standing alongside Jordanians and safeguarding their security and well-being.

Smirat further emphasized that His Majesty’s assertion that the security and safety of Jordanians are a red line, and that the hand of justice will reach every terrorist, reflects the state's unwavering determination to confront anyone seeking to threaten Jordan’s security and stability while upholding the rule of law and national unity.

Smirat expressed his pride and appreciation for Jordan’s security forces, whose professionalism, vigilance, and high level of readiness have once again demonstrated their ability to protect the nation.

He praised the joint security operation that successfully led to the arrest of those responsible for the terrorist attack early this morning, following continuous efforts involving investigations, surveillance, and intelligence gathering.

He stressed that the professionalism, courage, and determination demonstrated by the security forces in tracking down and apprehending the perpetrators reflect the strength of Jordan’s state institutions and their ability to protect citizens.

Smirat reaffirmed that Jordan would remain resilient in the face of terrorism and that anyone attempting to undermine its security and stability would face the full force of the law.

Participants in the gathering expressed their solidarity with the families of the victims and the injured, as well as their pride in the efforts and sacrifices of Jordan’s security personnel in protecting the country.

They reaffirmed their united support for the Hashemite leadership in confronting terrorism and extremism, their commitment to national unity, and their rejection of all attempts to threaten Jordan’s security and stability.

The gathering concluded with prayers for the souls of those who lost their lives, wishes for a swift recovery for the injured, and prayers for Jordan’s continued security and stability under the wise Hashemite leadership.
