At a defining moment in the nation's history, and amid a delicate regional climate, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II announced a strategic national decision to reinstate national service (Khidmat Al-Alam), a timely and deliberate response to the evolving needs of the present and the aspirations of the Jordanian people.اضافة اعلان


The reactivation of national service is not merely a procedural move; it is a profound political statement—one that clearly asserts Jordan’s readiness to face any challenge. With its wise Hashemite leadership, its Arab Army, its vigilant security apparatus, and its conscious youth, Jordan stands resilient and fully capable of defending its borders and safeguarding its sovereignty against any attempts at destabilization.


Undoubtedly, this decision is a direct reflection of the Hashemite leadership’s vision, led by His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein, to fortify the home front, reinforce national identity, and instill the values of loyalty and belonging among Jordan’s youth.


Furthermore, this move comes as a direct and assertive response to the recent expansionist rhetoric voiced by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the far-right in Israel, voices that have irresponsibly hinted at ambitions toward Jordanian and Arab lands. The Jordanian response, eloquently delivered by the Crown Prince, was clear: Jordan is strong, steadfast, and unyielding in the face of delusions and threats. Its strength lies in its leadership, people, and army.


The significance of national service extends well beyond its military dimension. It is a comprehensive developmental and societal initiative, aimed at preparing youth, encouraging them to actively participate in serving their country, and embracing their national, economic, and social responsibilities. It is a call to empower a new generation that believes in discipline, hard work, and commitment, a generation that will contribute meaningfully to Jordan’s future.


This strategic move is part of a broader, integrated vision shared by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, aimed at deepening the concept of comprehensive national security. It will inject new, spirited blood into state institutions, young Jordanians who believe in the national cause and understand the importance of unity in the face of escalating regional risks.


Moreover, this decision lays the foundation for a new phase in the national project—one that strengthens social cohesion, consolidates authentic Jordanian identity, and promotes national unity and loyalty at a time when the region faces unprecedented polarization and danger.


Reactivating national service is, ultimately, a strategic decision imbued with profound political, security, and social implications. It is a powerful affirmation that Jordan will not remain a bystander in the face of threats. Instead, it will act with confidence, grounded in its unwavering principles, proud of its youth, and determined to preserve its dignity and sovereignty.


This is a renewed declaration to the world that Jordan will remain, as it has always been, a beacon of security and stability, a nation of honor and sovereignty, impervious to threat and resistant to collapse.
