Afrasianet - Samir Habashneh - Almost a month goes by without hostile Zionist forces firing their arrows at Jordan, either through a press item from a hard-line extremist minister, or even from Netanyahu himself or false statements. The truth of this statement has been investigated in Jordan, as it turned out that it was not issued by President Trump or by President Trump. About his management.
The latest Zionist tradition is this absurdity about an "Israeli-American" agreement that stipulates the abolition of the Jordanian Hashemite custodianship of the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and replacing them with an Israeli body that oversees the city and its holy sites for the three religions.
In addition, US Senator Kristi Van Holl, in a Senate hearing, asked US Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the US administration's position on this news, which was reported by multiple media outlets in both Washington and Tel Aviv, and the minister categorically denied that the Trump administration was a partner in this matter, and that it had no knowledge of it, stressing respect for the Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship in Jerusalem.
We are facing messages of Zionist political confusion and harassment that do not stop at the Jordanian state, its interests and commitments towards the Palestinian cause, especially the holy sites in the city of Jerusalem. They come in the context of a series of provocations, such as the construction of a wire or cement wall on the Jordanian border, and before that, a military brigade called "Gilead" was established, with its borders of responsibility being located off the Balqa Heights (where the Hebrew name for Balqa is Gilad!). The government of terror has made excuses for an abyss, including that the Jordanian border is a crossing point for terrorists to enter the country Palestinian.
Returning to the most important claim regarding the Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship, I would like to clarify solid facts related to it starting from three levels:
• The first level: Attention to the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem in general, and the Palestinian cause in general, is a constant of Jordanian policy, not only in foreign policy, but also in domestic politics.
The holy sites and Jerusalem are an issue on which all Jordanians, including the leadership, people, institutions and parties, convene, as there is no one who objects to Jordan's past, current and expected role in the Palestinian cause.
This issue is a red line and a doctrinal, national, national, and moral commitment to the Palestinian cause. The Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship derives from Sharif Hussein bin Ali's historical interest in Jerusalem and Palestine, which categorically rejected all compromises regarding the establishment of a Zionist entity in Palestine.
In my personal estimation and from a modest reading, he lost his throne for this reason, and he lived in exile until he was martyred and buried in Al-Aqsa Mosque. The four Hashemite kings followed his guidance. Here we mention the role of the Jordanian Armed Forces and the Jordanian people, who gave hundreds of mujahideen and thousands of martyrs to the precious Palestinian wealth, all of which confirm that the Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship is not an emergency, and it establishes a Jordanian goal of making Jerusalem the capital of the future Palestinian state.
• The second level: The trusteeship enjoys the legitimacy of acceptance by the Palestinian brothers, as the official and popular Palestine and its religious institutions have repeatedly affirmed in Amman, and at the request of King Abdullah II, the affirmation of the Jordanian Hashemite custodianship of the holy sites and adherence to them.
This was expressed by the President of the Palestinian Authority and senior Palestinian officials, as well as by a large delegation of Islamic clerics who blessed the Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship of the Holy Sites. This was also done by large delegations of senior Christian clerics who emphasized the Jordanian role in Jerusalem and the Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites.
Many may not know that Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Rock of Honor and the interest in them in terms of working staff, or in terms of maintenance, is an integral part of the work of the Jordanian Ministry of Endowments, as there are about a thousand Palestinian employees on the staff of the Jordanian Ministry of Endowments to serve the Holy Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque and protect them from any tampering. Of course, Christian holy sites are the subject of the same care and attention from the Jordanian state.
• The third level: The Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship is derived from international law, as when Jordan and the occupation government signed the so-called Washington Declaration under the auspices of President Bill Clinton at the White House, and in the presence of the late King Hussein and the Prime Minister of the entity at the time, Yitzhak Rabin, this declaration confirmed the Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites, and after the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty was signed, the Trusteeship was one of the important points in this treaty, considering that the peace treaties are an integral part of the International law.
Therefore, these are three levels that confirm that the Jordanian Hashemite Custodianship in Jerusalem is not absurd but an integral part of the international commitment, and it enjoys the legitimacy of Palestinian acceptance, and the legitimacy of the Jordanian state's adherence to Jerusalem and its Arab, Islamic and Christian identity. Therefore, all this Zionist tampering and harassment of Jordan, the latest of which is related to the Custodianship, is nothing more than fireworks with sound and light, but it has no effect.
What must be emphasized here is that any tampering with the Jordanian-Hashemite custodianship of the Christian and Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem by the Zionist enemy is a new page added to Israel's long record as a rogue state and an outlier of international law, an assault on human rights and the rights of peoples, and the internationally recognized principle of self-determination.
When we talk about Israel, the rogue state whose narrative has been exposed to the world at all levels after portraying itself as an innocent victim living in an environment hostile to it, its truth has emerged as the contemporary and legitimate heir to fascism, where it practices genocide, gnaws at the homelands of others, and works in all inhumane ways to expel the Palestinian people who own the land, continuing its barbaric behavior and committing massacres since the Nakba of 1948.
The university that graduates most of America's leaders has shown them the reality of Israel as an aggressor and criminal state, and it is no longer that threatening pregnancy that needs support and care.
After all, the situation of Israel today and its ugly face being exposed to the world is another example of the state of South Africa during the apartheid period, which witnessed its criminal record and the racist measures it accumulated to oppress blacks.
I think that Israel is today in the last wave of its journey as a racist state after its falsehood was exposed and appeared to be what it really is, so Palestine, the democratic state, is a reality that is coming and maybe soon as well.
