Amman, Feb. 7 (Petra) — In an unprecedented display of national unity Friday, tens of thousands of Jordanians emerged across the kingdom’s governorates in coordinated demonstrations, articulating an unequivocal rejection of Palestinian displacement schemes and any resolution of the Palestinian question at Jordan’s expense.

The demonstrations, stretching from the northern highlands to the Red Sea port of Aqaba, crystallized Jordan’s historical position through synchronized rallies following Friday prayers.

Professional associations, civic organizations, and community leaders converged in demonstrations that resonated with a singular message: the inviolability of both Palestinian rights and Jordanian sovereignty.

In Aqaba, the symbolic interweaving of Jordanian and Palestinian flags embodied the depth of shared destinies, as demonstrators articulated their rejection of what they termed systematic attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause.

The port city’s gatherings emphasized the fortitude of Jordan’s position against regional machinations targeting both nations.

The industrial city of Zarqa witnessed a significant congregation behind the King Abdullah II Complex, where citizens assembled beneath banners proclaiming unified opposition to displacement scenarios.

Participants underscored the sacrosanct nature of the Hashemite custodianship over Jerusalem’s holy sites, characterizing it as a immutable constant in regional dynamics.

In the ancient city of Jerash, a massive procession termed the “Day of Loyalty” traversed from the historic Hamidi Mosque to Al-Qairawan Circle.

The demonstration united a broad coalition of civic institutions, including municipal councils, commercial organizations, and athletic associations, presenting a comprehensive representation of the city’s social fabric.

In Madaba’s twin demonstrations, which resonated through both the city center and Theeban district, parliamentary representatives and municipal leaders articulated a resolute stance against any compromise of Palestinian rights or Jordanian sovereignty.

The parallel rallies amplified the kingdom’s unified position through coordinated expressions of national solidarity.

The Jordan Valley’s demonstrations manifested across multiple population centers, from Deir Alla to the Northern Shouneh, Al-Mashare, and Al-Karaimeh districts.

Participants articulated the centrality of the Palestinian cause to Arab consciousness, rejecting any proposed solutions that might undermine Palestinian legitimacy or regional stability.

Ajloun’s demonstrations, coinciding with broader national commemorations, saw civic leaders express categorical rejection of resettlement schemes.

Mayor Hamza Al-Zghoul’s declaration resonated through the gathering: any attempt to impose resettlement against Jordanian will would constitute “a declaration of war,” with profound implications for regional peace initiatives.

In the northern governorate of Mafraq, a substantial procession emerged from the Grand Mosque toward Jerash Circle, led by tribal dignitaries and municipal representatives.

Mayor Nasser Akho Arshedah’s statement reflected the demonstrators’ resolve: “Jordan’s stability and security remain inviolable, and attempts to liquidate the Palestinian cause shall find no passage through our territory.”

The historic Baqaa refugee camp witnessed a significant gathering emanating from Al-Quds Mosque, where Services Committee Chairman Khalil Muslim issued a compelling call for Pan-Arab solidarity with Jordan’s principled stance.

The demonstration united camp residents, youth organizations, and official bodies in a comprehensive display of communal resolve.

Across these nationwide demonstrations, participants consistently articulated support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The coordinated displays of solidarity, marked by the proliferation of national flags and unifying banners, exemplified the depth of Jordan’s commitment to both Palestinian rights and its own sovereign integrity.

The day’s events culminated in a powerful manifestation of Jordan’s historical position: an absolute rejection of displacement scenarios and alternative homeland proposals, coupled with unwavering support for Palestinian self-determination.

This coordinated national response underscored the indivisible nature of Jordan’s stance on these fundamental issues of regional significance.
