He reiterated that support for the Palestinian people remains at the forefront of Jordan's priorities, affirming that the Palestinian cause has never left the heart of the Jordanian leadership or people. His Majesty continues to defend the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people at all international platforms. Al-Eisawi also highlighted Jordan's ongoing historic role in safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, under the Hashemite custodianship, in addition to continued field support for the people of Gaza through medical, humanitarian, and relief efforts. He added that Jordan, with the awareness of its people, has become a model of turning challenges into opportunities, drawing strength from national unity and from the efficiency of its institutions, particularly the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army and the security agencies. Al-Eisawi concluded by affirming Jordan's belief that 'the future is not granted but built,' and that the nation's advancement depends on the dedication of its people. He called on all to work together in a spirit of responsibility and loyalty to future generations, preserving Jordan's achievements and national path. Speakers at the meeting expressed pride in King Abdullah II's leadership, stating that the Hashemites carry the message of the Great Arab Revolt, and are the guardians of Jerusalem's holy sites, with religious and historical legitimacy. They described the relationship between the Jordanian people and the Hashemite leadership as one of soul and body, a bond of loyalty that remains unbroken. They emphasized that His Majesty is the voice of Arab conscience, a true defender of just causes, especially the Palestinian issue, and they expressed full confidence in his continued efforts to uphold justice and values. The speakers declared their absolute support and unwavering loyalty to the Hashemite leadership, pledging to remain faithful soldiers behind King Abdullah II and Crown Prince Hussein, drawing inspiration from the King's vision for reform and nation-building. They stressed the importance of defending the nation's unity, security, and stability. They described Jordan as the great national home for all Jordanians, with the Hashemite banner as their unifying symbol, and affirmed that the Jordanian state represents their shared project and the future of their children. Serving the homeland is a honor, they said, and defending it is a duty that allows for no hesitation.

They stressed the need for real and active engagement in the paths of political, economic, and administrative modernization launched by the King, which serve as a roadmap for a stronger, more stable, and prosperous future. One speaker highlighted that the Hashemites' role in carrying the trust of leadership is deeply rooted in history, tracing their lineage back to Hashim ibn Abd Manaf, who was known for his generosity—breaking bread and serving meat to pilgrims at the Kaaba, a legacy from which the name 'Hashim' derives. He cited the Prophetic Hadith: 'Indeed, Allah chose Kinanah from among the children of Isma'il, and He chose Quraysh from among Kinanah, and He chose Banu Hashim from among Quraysh, and He chose me from among Banu Hashim.' This, he noted, reinforces the religious and historical legitimacy of the Hashemite leadership, entrusting them with the responsibility to serve the Ummah and protect its sacred sites, carrying forward a legacy that has endured across generations.
