استثمرت موتورولا، المعروفة تقليديًا باتصالات السلامة العامة، حوالي 12 مليار دولار أمريكي في البحث والتطوير العضوي وعمليات الاستحواذ على مدار السنوات التسع الماضية لإنشاء محفظة تقنية قوية تشمل اتصالات المهام الحرجة، وأمن الفيديو، والتحكم في الوصول، وحلول مراكز القيادة المدعومة بالذكاء الاصطناعي. تتيح هذه الحلول تعاونًا أقوى بين وكالات ومؤسسات السلامة العامة، وربط المحتاجين بأولئك الذين يمكنهم تقديم المساعدة. على سبيل المثال، يمكن لمعلم المدرسة الضغط على زر الذعر على الهاتف أثناء حالة الطوارئ والذي يمكنه إخطار سلطات إنفاذ القانون تلقائيًا، وتفعيل الإغلاق، ومشاركة بث الفيديو المباشر مع المستجيبين الأوائل، وإرسال إشعارات جماعية.

The Ma’an civil defense directorate successfully rescued a number of people who were stranded by torrential rain in Shobak district in the Ma’an Governorate.

We destroyed 60 Zionist military vehicles in past 3 days, says Al-Qassam Brigades spokesperson


The Al-Qassam Brigades’ official spokesperson, Abu Ubaida, said that over the previous three days, the Al-Qassam Mujahideen had destroyed 60 Zionist military vehicles, including ten troop carriers.

“The fighting is still ongoing,” Abu Ubaida said in a recorded statement on successful Qassam Mujahideen operations that resulted in the death of a number of occupation soldiers.

The Al-Qassam Brigades’ official spokesperson said in some of these operations, the fighters heard the occupation soldiers’ screams before they were killed.

He believed the “occupation aircraft bombed their forces on the ground, thinking that a number of their soldiers had been captured.”

Arab-Islamic Summit committee, Chinese Vice President talk Israeli war on Gaza


The ministerial committee in charge of the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic Summit held a meeting Monday with the Vice President of China, Han Jing, in Beijing.

Jing lauded the efforts of the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh and the resulting decisions aimed at de-escalation, protecting civilians and restoring peace efforts, noting China’s support for the joint ministerial committee’s efforts to continue its diplomatic mandate.

He said Beijing has been working since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza to push for a ceasefire, protect civilians, allow humanitarian relief and end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian Territories based on a just solution, noting that China is keen to work with Arab and Islamic countries to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza.

The members of the Ministerial Committee praised China’s positions regarding the crisis in Gaza, noting that Arab and Islamic countries and China’s views are consistent. They commended Beijing’s “positive” role at the Security Council in favou
r of a ceasefire in Gaza.

The meeting focused on developments in Gaza and its surroundings and reaching an immediate ceasefire, protecting civilians and vital installations, including places of worship and hospitals.

The top diplomats discussed Israel’s storming of Gaza’s Al Shifa Hospital and the attack on the Indonesian Hospital, the Jordanian Field Hospital and relief and shelter centres in embattled Gaza.

The committee members stressed the “importance” of immediately stopping the military escalation displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, ensuring safe corridors for the entry of urgent humanitarian, food and medical aid and reviving the path of the peace process.

They urged the international community and the permanent members of the Security Council to stop the “flagrant Israeli violations of international laws and international humanitarian law.”

Members of the Ministerial Committee participated in the meeting comprised of the foreign ministers of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia an
d Palestine and the Secretary of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

Current tragedy in Gaza is the outcome of a decade-long global political and moral failure: EU’s Borrell


The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said, “The current tragedy in Gaza is the outcome of a decade-long global political and moral failure, for which the Israeli and Palestinian are paying a high price.

In an interview with the Jordan News Agency, Borrell added that the international community has formally committed itself to the two-state solution without a roadmap to achieve it effectively.

He said the Abraham Accord led many to believe that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be overlooked, adding that the war “dispelled that illusion. This time, we must finally end the vicious circle of violence.”

He said that the EU is urging Israel to exercise maximum restraint to minimise civilian casualties, avoiding bombing civilian facilities and stating that cutting off food, water, electricity and fuel to the besieged population of Gaza was “not acceptable.”

“We have quadrupled our humanitarian aid to Gaza to 100 million euros and organised an air bridge
to bring the most urgently needed products to Rafah, in Egypt,” he added.

On discrepancies amongst EU member states regarding the Israeli war on Gaza, Borrell said, “We are a Union of 27 different countries that have been at war with each other for centuries with rivers of blood and millions of dead, but now we live in peace for nearly eighty years,” adding that “the war must be the last one.”

He explained that the EU issued a call for an immediate halt to the Israeli war on Gaza, a call that the German Chancellor rejected.

He said the EU is “living proof” that it would be possible to make peace in the Middle East, including between Israel and Palestine. However, our 27 member states sometimes have different views on many issues because of their dissimilar histories, cultures and geographies. It is indeed also the case on some aspects of the current crisis in Gaza.”

He added that EU member states agree on the urgent need to put an end to the dramatic humanitarian situation of the civilian population in Ga
za and to restart a political process leading to a two-state solution.

On the EU’s failure to condemn Israel’s targeting of hospitals and UNRWA schools, Borrell said, “We need to improve our outreach on what we say and what we do,” adding, “the last statement of the 27 EU countries from 12 November says clearly that ‘international humanitarian law stipulates that hospitals, medical supplies and civilians inside hospitals must be protected.'”

He urged Israel to exercise restraint to ensure the protection of civilians, noting the incidents where Israeli warplanes struck a Jordanian field hospital and injured seven staff.

Regarding previous statements of Arab countries’ involvement in a post-war period in Gaza, Borrell said, “Unfortunately, it is not the case for the moment, but once the humanitarian situation will be finally consolidated in Gaza, we will indeed have to move to politics.”

“I presented to my interlocutors in Israel and Palestine and the Gulf some preliminary ideas regarding the possible futur
e of Gaza,” he added.

“We oppose the forced displacement of the population of Gaza to other countries, the amputation of its territory, its reoccupation by Israel or a return of Hamas to govern the enclave,” he explained.

He said, “We do not want a dissociation of Gaza from the overall Palestinian issue. It must be solved as a whole. We favour the return of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza under conditions set by a UN Security Council Resolution.

“However, the Palestinian Authority will need support for a transitory period. Therefore, we would encourage the involvement of Arab states trusted by the Israelis and the Palestinian Authority.

“Achieving a lasting solution requires their commitment, and I am not talking here of financial commitment only. However, their involvement cannot be an end in itself. It must be a step on a clear path towards a Palestinian state.”

He added that there is a “need” for EU involvement to rebuild Gaza and help build a sovereign Palestinian state “capable of restoring the di
gnity of the Palestinians and of making peace with Israel.”

Borrell said the EU urged humanitarian pauses and corridors to evacuate wounded and sick people and foreign nationals, including opening additional crossing points. He added that the EU is considering a Cypriot proposal to establish a maritime corridor.

Over the last three years, the EU delivered close to pound 2.5 billion in grants, concessional loans and macro-financial assistance to Jordan in private sector development, education and health and the EU response to the Syrian refugee crisis.

Borrell said, “Jordan can count on us to sustain our support at all levels – political, security, humanitarian aid and development.

Borrell noted that the Aqaba-Amman water conveyor is “vital” for Jordan’s future water security, adding that “it is the reason why it is a flagship project of EU-Jordan cooperation.”

He said, “During His Majesty King Abdullah’s visit to Brussels a few days ago, close to pound 100 million in grants have been signed to support
it. They will be combined with a pound 300 million loan from the European Investment Bank.”

“We have been supporting Syrian refugees in Jordan since 2011, and we will sustain this effort. The European Commission provides around pound 100 million a year for that purpose,” he explained.

“The war in Gaza has demonstrated once more the crucial role played by UNRWA in support of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, but also elsewhere in the region, and Jordan in particular. The EU supports financially and politically UNWRA and will continue to do so,” he added.

Crown Prince arrives in El Arish; oversees preparation, dispatch of new Jordanian field hospital for Gaza


His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II on Monday arrived in El Arish, Egypt, to oversee the preparation and dispatch of the special Jordanian field hospital/2 for southern Gaza, with the capacity of 41 beds.

According to a royal court statement, Crown Prince Al Hussein arrived at El Arish International Airport on a Royal Jordanian Air Force military plane, which also carried hospital staff, medical equipment, and supplies.

The field hospital, which will be set up in Khan Younis, was dispatched upon directives by His Majesty King Abdullah II, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, as a continuation of Jordan’s efforts to support the Palestinians, and to provide medical services to Palestinian patients and those injured in the Israeli war on Gaza.

The hospital comprises various departments including emergency, internal medicine, intensive care units, and a prematurity department with 41 incubators, as well as an obstetrics and gynaecology department, a laboratory, a
pharmacy, an X-ray room, a sterilisation room, and two operation theatres for urgent operations.

The 145 staff members include medical and nursing teams from the Royal Medical Services, in addition to administrative staff, and specialists in general surgery, as well as neurology, pulmonology, urology, cosmetic, orthopaedic, paediatric, and maxillofacial surgeries.

Earlier, 40 trucks arrived at the Rafah border crossing carrying the necessary equipment and medical supplies for preparing the hospital.

King meets EU high representative, discusses stopping Gaza war


His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday met with High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, European Commission Vice-President Josep Borrell.

King Abdullah stressed the need to work intensively to stop the war on Gaza, end the siege, and push to ensure the delivery of food, medicine, water, and fuel to the Strip.

His Majesty warned of the disastrous repercussions of the ongoing war, whose victims are innocent civilians.

The King also warned of the continued escalations and settler violence against the Palestinians in the West Bank.

His Majesty reiterated that the only way to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the two-state solution, which guarantees stability and security for all.

For his part, High Representative Borrell highlighted the need to protect civilians in Gaza.

He commended Jordan’s crucial role, led by His Majesty, in working towards creating a political horizon for the Palestinian issue, on the basis of the two-state solution.

Director of the Office of His
Majesty Jafar Hassan attended the meeting.

Activists push for petition demanding action against Israeli ‘potential’ genocide in Gaza


Activists Sunday delivered a petition signed by more than 2,000 people to international organisations demanding urgent action against the “potential” genocide in Gaza.

According to a statement, WHO was the only organisation that had refused to receive the petition. Part of the mandate of the organisations that received the petition is to lobby governments to “protect the people they serve.”

The petition, titled “Urgent Appeal: Urging INGOs and UN Agencies to Acknowledge the Gaza Genocide,” calls for immediate and decisive action against the “potential” genocide perpetrated by Israeli forces.

It calls for condemning Israel’s actions and an urgent ceasefire, with the activists believing that using the term “genocide” explicitly would exert significant pressure on Western governments to intervene.

The petition demands INGOs and UN Agencies express concern about a “potential” genocide in the embattled coastal enclave based on expert reports and call for an “urgent” ceasefire and the delivery of sufficient ai
d, especially to Gaza’s northern districts.

The petition includes evidence by experts like the former Director of the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Craig Mokhiber, and UN Special Rapporteurs who have raised concerns about crimes against humanity.
