Amman, October 24 (Petra) – The Palestinian Ambassador in Amman,
Atallah Khairy, has “strongly” condemned the heinous terrorist
attack that targeted a church in Karak Governorate, which resulted in
a number of innocent casualties and injuries.

In a press statement on Saturday, Khairy described this brutal
assault, which targeted Jordanian citizens during funeral prayers
inside the church, as “one of the most atrocious crimes against
humanity.”

He affirmed this criminal and destructive ideology is absolutely not
connected to religion, Islam, or Muslims.

“Such terrorist groups and murderous criminal gangs pose a threat to
all peoples and nations across the globe, noting that confronting,
countering, and resisting them is a collective international
responsibility,” he remarked.

He affirmed that these cowardly acts will not shake Jordan’s
security, nor its unity.

“The Jordanian people, in all their diversity and components, stand
united and remain steadfastly rallied around the Hashemite
leadership,” he pointed out.

He noted that the terrorists have failed to achieve their objectives,
just as they have failed on previous occasions.

Expressing support of Palestinian people and their leadership for
brotherly Jordan, he affirmed security of Jordan and Plaestine is
mutually “integral”.

He affirmed Jordan remains the closest, most sincere, loyal, and
credible brother and supporter of the Palestinian people, their
cause, and their rights.

He stated: “We have full confidence in the wisdom and courage of His
Majesty King Abdullah II and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al
Hussein bin Abdullah II, as well as in the strength and capabilities
of the valiant Jordan Armed Forces and professional security
services.”

“We trust these apparatuses’ ability to confront this terrorism,
thwart its criminal schemes and objectives, and prevent it from
harming a strong, steadfast, and resilient Jordan a nation with roots
that run deep into history.”

Praying for Allah to protect Jordan, he wished a speedy recovery to
those injured in the incident.
