Hassan: Life Will Not Stop Due to Crises and Reckless Acts Destabilizing the Region - Jordan News
Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan affirmed on Wednesday that "we remain strong through our leadership, our people, our army, and our security institutions, despite the difficult conditions and crises sweeping the region." اضافة اعلان During a Cabinet session held in Balqa Governorate, Hassan stated, 'We are accustomed to building this nation and forging ahead through the fiercest storms with confidence, guided by the wisdom of our Hashemite leadership and the determination of our honorable people.' He stressed that crises will never be an excuse for the government to halt its responsibilities or fall short in delivering all possible services to the citizens. 'The wheel of life will not stop because of crises and reckless adventures that threaten the security and stability of the region,' Hassan said. 'We are not part of these conflicts or the tragedies they produce—and we will not be.' Hassan reaffirmed that the security of Jordan and Jordanians, and the protection of the country's stability and prosperity, remain above all else. He noted that Jordan has faced exceptional and unprecedented strategic and security challenges for decades—yet these crises have never halted the country's progress. 'They have made us stronger and more united, deepening our commitment to protecting our homeland through the wisdom of our Hashemite leadership, the strength of our internal front, and our ability to avoid the chaos and conflicts that have cost the lives of innocents and led to the collapse of nations and societies.' The Prime Minister remarked, 'The world seems to have forgotten Gaza amid current global developments, despite the fact that the number of innocent civilian casualties there in recent weeks has exceeded those of the Israeli-Iranian conflict and its dangerous regional implications.' He added that 'Israeli brutality and extremism continue against our Palestinian brothers and sisters—in the West Bank, Gaza, Jerusalem, and its holy sites. This brutality must come to an end.' Hassan emphasized that safeguarding the Palestinian people and supporting their resilience on their land remains the central issue in the upcoming phase. He also pointed out that no one has played a greater role in urging the international community to act than His Majesty King Abdullah II has over the past 25 years.
The Prime Minister concluded by stating that the only path to resolving the region's crises lies in a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause. Without such a resolution, the region will remain vulnerable to unending conflicts and instability.

Netanyahu reacts to deadly ambush in Gaza that killed 7 'Israeli' soldiers
'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commented on the killing of one officer and six soldiers in an ambush in the city of Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip. 'This is a very difficult day for the people of Israel. We mourn the loss of seven of our fighters in Gaza during the battle against Hamas,' Netanyahu said. 'Israeli' Broadcasting Authority described the incident as "one of the most difficult events" the 'Israeli' army has experienced in recent months, after a military unit was caught in a well-planned ambush in Khan Younis. According to details published by the authority, an explosive device was attached to an 'Israeli' armored personnel carrier, killing the officer and six soldiers instantly. It added that the attack revealed the severity of the assault and the army's failure to respond, making it one of the most painful blows since the resumption of ground operations in Gaza in March. In an official statement, the 'Israeli' army confirmed the deaths after notifying the families, noting that a seventh soldier was also killed in the same attack. His identity has not yet been made public. 'Israeli' army radio reported that identifying the soldiers took several hours due to the armored vehicle catching fire after being hit by the explosive. Rescue teams initially failed to extinguish the flames and were only able to contain the fire after the vehicle was dragged into the occupied territories.

Democrats block surprise Trump impeachment vote over Iran strikes
A surprise move to impeach President Donald Trump over his recent military strikes on Iran sparked intense backlash among House Democrats on Tuesday. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) forced a vote on a five-page resolution accusing Trump of violating the Constitution by ordering unilateral strikes on Iranian nuclear sites without congressional approval. Green argued the president "disregarded the doctrine of separation of powers by usurping Congress's power to declare war" and said he had "not one scintilla of regret" for pushing the issue forward. The resolution was swiftly blocked, with 128 Democrats joining Republicans to stop it from advancing. Only 79 Democrats, largely progressives from solidly blue districts, voted to allow the measure to proceed. Behind the scenes, Democratic lawmakers expressed anger and exasperation over what many viewed as a poorly timed and counterproductive move. 'It was a completely unserious and selfish move,' one House Democrat told Axios anonymously. Another said there was 'a lot' of frustration among party members, adding, 'I think you heard it from leadership today, they're frustrated.' 'Most people think it's unhelpful,' a third Democrat said. Leadership figures, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), both voted against Green's measure. The episode highlighted a broader challenge facing House Democrats: balancing grassroots pressure for impeachment with concerns about political fallout among moderate voters. 'It puts people in a difficult situation,' a fourth lawmaker said. 'There are a lot of other things we should be focused on right now,' another added. Some Democrats argued Green's resolution was weaker than other impeachment attempts, including a recent effort by Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) that was similarly unpopular among colleagues. Critics also questioned the legal viability of the resolution. 'We're not even clear the courts would uphold this,' said one Democratic member, pointing to the ongoing constitutional debate over presidential war powers. 'This kind of motion is premature... I just don't think it's ripe.' Still, a small group of Democrats defended the vote as necessary. Rep. Emily Randall (D-Wash.) said, 'My constituents have been calling for articles of impeachment knowing we don't have the votes to pass them. Part of our job is to put things on the record.' Thanedar echoed her sentiment, saying bluntly, 'This president should be impeached.' For his part, Green stood by his decision to force the vote, describing it as a matter of 'conscience.'

Israeli Army Admits to Death of Officer and Six Soldiers, 17 Injured in Khan Younis Ambush - Jordan News
Israeli Army Admits to Death of Officer and Six Soldiers, 17 Injured in Khan Younis Ambush The Israeli occupation army has acknowledged the death of an officer and six soldiers during battles in southern Gaza, following earlier reports by Israeli media that four soldiers were killed and 17 injured in a complex ambush in Khan Younis. اضافة اعلان The army also confirmed that 16 other soldiers from the Combat Engineering Battalion 605 were wounded in the ambush. According to the army, the seven soldiers were completely burned after an explosive device detonated under an armored Puma engineering vehicle in Khan Younis, and evacuating them was extremely difficult. Israeli media described the incident in Khan Younis as one of the most severe the army has faced in recent months. Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a preliminary investigation revealed the armored carrier caught fire with the soldiers inside, and it took the army many hours to identify the bodies. The evacuation helicopters returned empty to their bases after the army was forced to transport the burnt carrier and remains back into Israel. The paper also reported that the perpetrators who planted the explosive device have not yet been located, and intense battles broke out in the area. Palestinian fighters reportedly targeted Israeli rescue forces. Israeli media said on Tuesday that some soldiers were missing at the ambush site, prompting increased aerial surveillance to evacuate the wounded and search for the missing. The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, claimed responsibility for the ambush, stating via Telegram that their fighters targeted an Israeli force inside a house in southern Khan Younis using a 'Yassin 105' rocket and an RPG, resulting in Israeli casualties. These developments come amid continuous Palestinian resistance attacks on Israeli forces in both the southern and northern Gaza Strip. Al-Qassam Brigades also announced that they targeted a Merkava tank in southern Khan Younis with a Shawaz explosive device and a 'Yassin 105' round in the Old Licensing area. Meanwhile, Saraya al-Quds (the military wing of Islamic Jihad) said it shelled Israeli troop gatherings in the 'Western Satar' area north of Khan Younis with mortar rounds, reporting direct hits and subsequent military vehicle movements and helicopter evacuations. They also confirmed that their fighters destroyed an Israeli military vehicle using a high-powered explosive device in central Khan Younis. Earlier today, the al-Qassam Brigades said they killed three Israeli soldiers in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip. (Source: Al Jazeera)
