Amman, Sept 2 (Petra) — His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Supreme
Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, on Wednesday sent a
letter to retired Lt. Gen. Yousef Huneiti, in which he thanked him
for his efforts during his tenure as chairman of the joint chiefs of
staff.

Following is the English translation of the letter:

“In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Lieutenant General Yousef Huneiti,

Peace, God’s mercy and blessings be upon you,

You have undertaken the responsibility of chairing the joint chiefs
of staff of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army for several years,
during which you have been a devoted soldier for our dear Jordan.

You worked during the difficult circumstances facing our region to
bolster the capabilities of our brave Armed Forces, in order to
enable them to continue their role as a shield for the homeland,
while undertaking their humanitarian duty towards brethren in the
region.

During your service, you also worked to implement our directives to
modernize, develop and restructure our Armed Forces, in order to face
current and future threats, while ensuring institutionalism in
dealing with various emerging developments that could face the Arab
Army.

You spent decades serving our dear Jordan in the Armed Forces,
setting an example of dedicated military service and showing great
keenness to ably uphold your responsibilities, and today, you
complete your mission and leave your position after adeptly
performing your duties, so that you may take time to rest or move on
to another position of service.

I extend my deep thanks and appreciation for your dedicated efforts
and exceptional performance, and wish you continued success. I pray
that God preserve and protect you and enable us all to serve Jordan
and its people.

Peace, God’s mercy and blessings be upon you.

Abdullah II ibn Al Hussein
Amman, 2 September 2026″
