Euro-Med Medical Association expresses concern over smear campaigns against Jordan
The spokesperson for the International Euro-Mediterranean Medical Association in Jordan, Dr. Mohammed Tarawneh, confirmed that the association is deeply concerned about what he described as "malicious and systematic campaigns" targeting Jordan's leading humanitarian role, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, toward the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. He added that the association watches with great dismay the desperate attempts to tarnish the image of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which has always been and continues to be a source of support and assistance for its Palestinian brothers, especially during the current dire circumstances faced by Gaza. Dr. Tarawneh stated that these campaigns have reached a dangerous and unacceptable stage, when a well-known London-based website, with clear political motives, launched a direct campaign of doubt and incitement against Jordan and its national institutions, even attempting a vile smear against the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), the long-established Jordanian institution playing a pivotal and noble role in delivering humanitarian aid to the besieged people of Gaza. He emphasized that these false and misleading claims propagated by the website are completely devoid of any evidence or basis in truth, asserting that accusing the JHCO of negligence or manipulation is a pure fabrication. He confirmed that the organization enjoys a solid reputation and high transparency both regionally and internationally. Dr. Tarawneh explained that these baseless accusations are part of a larger systematic effort to undermine Jordan's crucial role in supporting the Palestinian cause and alleviating the suffering of the people of Gaza. He pointed out that the association closely follows and highly values the tireless efforts of Jordan, its king, government, and people, to deliver as much aid as possible to the Gaza Strip, overcoming numerous political and logistical obstacles. He confirmed that this noble humanitarian role reflects a natural continuation of Jordan's historical and steadfast positions toward the Palestinian cause, which is respected and appreciated by all honorable people worldwide. Dr. Tarawneh also expressed the association's full solidarity with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and its wise leadership in the face of these malicious campaigns, renewing deep appreciation for the humanitarian work carried out by the JHCO. He strongly condemned what he called "the incitement campaign led by the British website," describing it as a tool in the hands of parties seeking to serve suspicious agendas. He called on the international community, human rights organizations, and humanitarian institutions to expose these misleading campaigns and stand by Jordan in its noble efforts. Dr. Tarawneh concluded by affirming that attempts to harm Jordan and its humanitarian role will not deter it from continuing to support the Palestinian people and their just cause. He assured that the association, from its ethical and humanitarian responsibility, stands united with Jordan and believes that the voice of truth and justice will ultimately prevail over all advocates of division and deception.
