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.
