Mafraq, July 2 (Petra) — Royal Hashemite Court Chief Yousef Issawi
on Thursday evening attended the Al-Azamat tribe’s celebration of
national holidays, held in the Umm al-Quttain area upon an invitation
from Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Azamat.

The event was attended by Mafraq Governor Firas Abu Qaoud, alongside
several tribal sheikhs, notables, official and social figures, and a
large gathering of the Al-Azamat tribe.

Participants at the ceremony, which was moderated by academic Samara
Saud Al-Azamat, stated that celebrating national occasions embodies
pride in the achievements Jordan has made under the leadership of His
Majesty King Abdullah II. They noted it reflects a deep sense of
belonging and loyalty to the Hashemite leadership and a commitment to
continuing the country’s development while safeguarding national
security and stability.

Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Azamat said that the Al-Azamat tribe has
historically been an active partner in the state-building process,
standing firmly by the nation and its Hashemite leadership across all
stages while remaining committed to the authentic values and customs
of the Jordanian Badia. On behalf of the tribe, he extended his
congratulations to His Majesty King Abdullah II and HRH Crown Prince
Al Hussein bin Abdullah II on the national holidays, including
Independence Day and the Accession to the Throne.

Member of Parliament Habes Al-Shabeeb affirmed that the tribe will
remain faithful to the path of their ancestors who pledged allegiance
to the Hashemites since the founding of the Jordanian state. He added
that members of the tribe, like all Jordanian clans, have always been
at the forefront of defending the homeland and its dignity.

Al-Shabeeb noted that under His Majesty King Abdullah II, Jordan will
remain an oasis of security and stability, resilient against any
attempts to undermine its achievements, thanks to the sacrifices of
the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army and the security agencies.

Academic Mohammad Khalaf Al-Azamat said that Jordan has proven its
ability to overcome various challenges by relying on the unity of its
people, the steadfastness of its positions, and its clear vision for
development and modernization. He noted that the Al-Azamat tribe
takes pride in its role as a true partner in building the state,
having provided martyrs in defense of the nation and contributed to
various fields of national service.

Khalaf Dahr Al-Azamat, another figure from the tribe, discussed the
national significance of these occasions, stating that the
celebration serves as a renewed opportunity to affirm loyalty to
Jordan and its leadership while instilling the values of good
citizenship and the Jordanian national narrative of devotion and
sincerity in younger generations. He added that maintaining internal
cohesion and unity around the Hashemite leadership forms the
fundamental pillar for confronting regional challenges.

Retired Colonel Hani Awad Al-Azamat said that the Hashemites have led
Jordan since its establishment with a wise vision that helped build a
modern state, strengthen its institutions, uphold justice and
equality, and cement the rule of law and democratic participation. He
added that true celebration translates into hard work, dedication to
duty, and the preservation of national achievements.

Attorney Majd Shteiwi Al-Azamat pointed out that Jordan’s
achievements in empowering women and enhancing their role across
various sectors, along with the focus on youth inclusion, reflect the
Royal vision that investing in human capital is the foundation of
progress. She reiterated that the Al-Azamat tribe continues to stand
firmly behind the leadership in its ongoing modernization drive.

Fawaz Al-Braihi noted that national holidays present an occasion to
recall a national journey rich in achievements spanning more than a
quarter of a century under His Majesty King Abdullah II. He added
that this period has seen significant steps toward political,
economic, and administrative modernization, alongside defending
Jordan’s interests and boosting its regional and international
standing despite regional crises.

The celebration featured national poems and traditional performances
by the Rajef Folklore Troupe, which performed pieces celebrating
Jordan, the Hashemite leadership, and the country’s national
milestones.
