Amman: The General Federation of Jordanian Trade Unions (GFJTU) on Wednesday described Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s provocative statements about a so-called “Greater Israel,” which allegedly includes Palestinian territories as well as parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, as mere illusions and a desperate attempt to undermine Jordan’s national sovereignty.
According to Jordan News Agency, GFJTU President Khaled Al-Fanatsah stated that these claims constitute a direct threat to national security but emphasized that they will not compromise Jordan’s resilience or sovereignty. He noted that the country is supported by wise Hashemite leadership, a strong army, and a populace ready to respond to threats.
“Every inch of Jordanian soil is a red line. Any project aimed at resolving the Palestinian issue by force or displacing Palestinians will face total rejection from all Jordanian workers and citizens,” Al-Fanatsah declared.
He further added that Jordan’s positions, under its Hashemite leadership, have consistently opposed expansionist projects, reiterating His Majesty King Abdullah II’s repeated rejection of any schemes that impose solutions at Jordan’s expense or undermine the Palestinian cause.
The GFJTU emphasized that Netanyahu’s statements reflect the aggressive, expansionist mentality of the Zionist project since its inception and are aimed at reviving territorial ambitions in the region.
“The harmony between public and official stances in Jordan serves as a safeguard for national security. Any attempt to impose a new reality at Jordan’s or Palestine’s expense will crash against the rock of national will, which cannot be breached,” the GFJTU stressed, highlighting that Jordanian workers have always stood firmly behind their homeland and Hashemite leadership.
