T. Belman. They won’t succeed. Abdullah will soon be deposed and Jordan will become a republic under the leadership of Mudar Zahran. The Muslim Brotherhood will be banned.
We Should Seriously Consider Revoking Their Jordanian Citizenship
Former Jordanian Minister of Information Samih Al-Maaytah said in a March 31, 2024 interview on Al-Arabiya Network (Saudi Arabia) that since the beginning of the war in Gaza, Hamas’s leadership in Qatar – including Khaled Mashal – have been attempting to incite Jordan’s population to take to the streets. He explained that Hamas’s leadership is attempting to pressure the Jordanian government and to “send a message” that Hamas “owns” the Jordanian public, so that Jordan changes its stance regarding Hamas. In addition, he said that any leader of a Palestinian faction who has Jordanian citizenship and is inciting or provoking riots should perhaps have his citizenship revoked, in accordance with the Jordanian constitution.

Samih Al-Maaytah: “When the [Israeli] aggression began, one of the Hamas’s leaders living in Qatar [Khaled Mash’al] incited the Jordanian tribes to take to the streets. Then he apologized for what he had said. He sent messages via intermediaries, saying that he apologizes and that he had made a mistake.
“Then, a couple of days ago, he incited the people again to take to the streets, in a manner that implies other things. This is what the government meant when it talked about incitement of the public. It is clear that there is an attempt today to ignite the Jordanian public, and to exert pressure on the Jordanian state. Jordan does not occupy Gaza. Jordan is not bombing Gaza. Jordan supports Gaza politically, diplomatically, and with humanitarian aid.

“This is an attempt to send a message to the Jordanian state with the help of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan.

“The Hamas leaders in Qatar have incited the Jordanian public, and they are inciting the tribes, inciting people to take to the streets, and to chant new [anti-Jordanian] slogans. They are trying to say to Jordan: We own the Jordanian public. Perhaps is an attempt to pressure Jordan to change its approach towards Hamas.

“A leader of any Palestinian faction who has Jordanian citizenship, but is inciting against our country and is trying to provoke riots in it – the government should seriously consider revoking his citizenship. This is in line with the constitution.”
Iran-Backed Militias In Iraq And Lebanon: Killings Of Senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Officials In Damascus ‘Won’t Go Unpunished;’ Iraqi Hizbullah Declares Intent To Arm Thousands Of Operatives In Jordan To Take Revenge On ‘The Sons Of The Monkeys And The Pigs’
The following report is now a complimentary offering from MEMRI’s Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM). For JTTM subscription information, click here.
On April 1, 2024, a building adjacent to the Iranian Embassy in the Syrian capital of Damascus was attacked. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that the building belonged to the Iranian consulate and that the attack, which was perpetrated with rockets, killed seven IRGC members, including General Muhammad Reza Zahedi aka Hassan Mahdawi, his deputy, General Muhammad Hadi Haj Rahimi and five additional officers.
Hizbullah and the Iran-backed militias in Iraq condemned the attack and expressed condolences to the Iranian people and its leadership and to the “brothers” in the IRGC and its Qods Force, for the death of Zahedi and the other men. They asserted that “this crime” will only increase their determination to continue on the path of resistance, and threatened that it “won’t go unpunished.” The Iran-backed Iraqi Hizbullah Brigades militia also declared its intention to arm 12,000 fighters from among “the mujahideen of the Islamic resistance in Jordan” to join them in protecting the Palestinian people and to take revenge for “the attack by the sons of the monkeys and the pigs on the honor of the Muslims.”
It should be noted that Zahedi is the most senior Iranian commander to be killed since the U.S. assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander Qasem Soleimani on January 3, 2020.
The following is a review of the statements issued by the Iran-backed militias between April 1 and 2, 2024:
Iraqi Hizbullah Brigades: We Will Block Land Access To “Zionist Entity”
On April 1, 2024, Hizbullah Brigades spokesman Abu Ali Al-‘Askari posted an official announcement on his Telegram channel which stated that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq “had made the preparations to equip the mujahideen brothers of the Islamic resistance in Jordan with whatever is needed for 12,000 fighters, including light and medium weapons, anti-tank rocket launchers, tactical missiles, millions of pieces of ammunition, and tons of explosives.” The post said that this was done “so that we can act together to defend our Palestinian brothers and to take revenge for the attack by the sons of the monkeys and the pigs on the honor of the Muslims.” In his message, Al-‘Askari stressed that his men were ready to begin to supply the equipment, and that all that was needed was a recommendation from the mujahideen in Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) (most-likely to clarify which Jordanian bodies should receive it). He said that the equipment was intended “so that we can begin to block the land route to the Zionist entity.”
