Jordan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned the antisemitic attack in Sydney, which resulted in 12 deaths and multiple injuries, in what authorities have described as a violent act targeting the Jewish community.

The ministry’s official spokesperson, Ambassador Fuad Al-Majali, expressed Jordan’s firm stance against all forms of terrorism and hate-motivated violence, emphasizing the country’s full solidarity with Australia in the wake of the tragedy.

“Jordan rejects all forms of violence and terrorism that seek to undermine security and stability, regardless of their motives,” Majali stated.

He also extended Jordan’s deepest condolences to the Australian government and people, especially to the families of the victims, and wished a speedy recovery to those injured in the attack.

Australian authorities are currently investigating the incident, which has sent shockwaves through both local communities and international observers. The attack has been widely condemned by leaders and organizations around the world as a reminder of the urgent need to confront antisemitism and hate-fueled extremism in all its forms.
