Lebanon assures Jordan of solidarity after foiled threats to national security
LONDON: Lebanon's prime minister expressed solidarity with Jordan following the arrest on Tuesday of several suspects accused of involvement in plots to compromise Jordanian national security. During a telephone conversation with his counterpart, Jafar Hassan, Nawaf Salam pledged Lebanon's full cooperation in efforts to tackle threats to Jordan's security and stability. Earlier, the Jordanian General Intelligence Department arrested 16 people suspected of 'planning acts of chaos and sabotage,' the Jordan News Agency reported. Two of the suspects, Abdullah Hisham and Muath Al-Ghanem, were believed to have visited Lebanon to coordinate with a senior leader in the Muslim Brotherhood and receive training, the agency added. Salam said Lebanese authorities were 'fully prepared' to cooperate with their Jordanian counterparts by providing information about individuals suspected of involvement in the plots who received training in Lebanon, the country's National News Agency reported. 'Lebanon refuses to be a base or a launching pad for any action that would threaten the security of any brotherly or friendly country,' the prime minister added. In a message posted on social media platform X, Lebanese MP Fouad Makhzoum said the case affects Lebanon's relations with Arab and other foreign countries, and urged the government to clarify the circumstances surrounding the suspects' training. 'All solidarity with Jordan in the face of malicious attempts to undermine its stability,' he added.

The Palestinian Authority condemned the 'terrorist plots' and said they represented an attempt to undermine national security. The president's office said 'attempts to target and weaken Jordan are targeting and weakening Palestine,' the Palestinian News Agency reported.
