WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Brainstorm Cell downplayed the severity of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) refusal to file letter; (2) Brainstorm Cell continued to conceal the risks associated with the submission of the biologics license application (“BLA”); and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

King leads international endeavor to coordinate relief organizations’ efforts to maintain flow of humanitarian supplies into Gaza, says PM

Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh said that the political effort led by His Majesty King Abdullah when the aggression against Gaza first began brought about actions and movements that changed the perception and sentiment of the public in Western nations and led to the UN Security Council passing a resolution to establish humanitarian truces that would permit the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Speaking to an interview with the local TV station, Almamlaka, the Prime Minister added that His Majesty the King is leading an international effort to coordinate relief organizations’ efforts to to maintain the flow of humanitarian supplies into Gaza.

HRH Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II was the highest-ranking Arab official present at the Rafah border when the convoys of humanitarian and medical aid that constructed the Jordanian field hospital in Khan Yunis began, according to Khasawneh.

“Since the beginning of this aggression, we have stated that attempts to force the population out of Gaza c
onstitute a red line because they may be a precursor to patterns of forced displacement in other directions, including the West Bank, and we have supported Egypt’s unequivocal rejection of displacement,” the Prime Minister emphasized. He also emphasized that any displacement, whether in Gaza or the West Bank, constitutes the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.

Khasawneh praised Qatar’s and Egypt’s efforts in bringing about the ceasefire, which is now in its third day. He noted that there are signs that could lead to its extension and that a permanent ceasefire would be established in order to facilitate political negotiations that would lead to a two-state solution and the realization of the Palestinian people’s right to create an independent state.

He underlined Jordan’s stance in favor of humanitarian truces as a means of establishing a long-lasting ceasefire and initiating the required political dialogue that “will enable us to advance toward realizing the two-state solution the one that cannot be avoi
ded.”

“We have set boundaries since the beginning of this war, especially since there were calls at the start of this aggression for Gazans to flee to Egypt. For us, this was a red line because it could be a precursor to patterns of forced displacement in other directions, including in the West Bank. So, we’ve supported Egypt’s clear position, because any displacement constitutes the liquidation of the Palestinian cause, whether in Gaza or the West Bank, and we stated at the time that any type of forced population displacement towards Jordan would constitute a declaration of war against us. The peace treaty prohibits population movement and displacement, so any attempt to create a situation that would result in population displacement forcibly would be a material breach of the agreement. This would also be in opposition to the agreement’s goals and objectives, which would bring us back to a state of no peace,” Khasawneh added.

ASE obtains ISO quality management system certificate

The Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) obtained the conformity certificate for the International Standard for Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015) from the TUV AUSTRIA Group, after the audit process and examination of documents conducted by the accredited body in Jordan, TUV AUSTRIA/JORDAN.

According to a statement on Monday, the ASE said it fulfilled all the requirements and standards of the international certificate after the completion of the audit process, document review, and verification of the ASE’s implementation of the Quality Management System conditions according to international standards.

The CEO of the ASE, Mazen Wathaifi, stated that achieving this accomplishment is the result of the efforts exerted by the ASE’s employees. This is part of the commitment to enhance a culture of institutional excellence across all aspects of work by adopting practices and methodologies that play a significant role in improving performance efficiency and effectiveness. The aim is to provide integrated services wit
h precision and high efficiency, conforming to the highest global standards.

He added that one of the prominent goals pursued by the exchange within its strategic plan is to consider obtaining this certificate as a result of meticulous planning and continuous effort to develop the ASE’s work system. This aligns with achieving its objectives, enhancing its contribution to the national economy, and realizing overarching national goals. The exchange seeks to provide the best types of services, meet the needs and requirements of stakeholders, enhance service performance, and handle suggestions and complaints to ensure stakeholder satisfaction.

Wathaifi Indicated that this certification is awarded to entities that meet specified requirements and standards, following an evaluation by a team of qualified, independent auditors from internationally recognized organizations.

The process involves two stages of auditing. The first stage comprises a preliminary review of the Quality Management System documents (interna
l audit), followed by the second stage, which involves a comprehensive official audit (external audit) to assess the implementation procedures of the system in accordance with the certification requirements and standards and as part of the commitment to certification standards, there will also be periodic follow-up audits to ensure compliance.

It’s worth mentioning that the ISO certification is a means to improve, control, and develop work methodologies, while reducing production costs and resource wastage. Consequently, it facilitates the achievement of comprehensive quality, contributing to the success of the organization, the realization of its objectives, and the anticipation of its future.

FM co-chairs Union for Mediterranean regional forum, 1st and final add

The foreign minister said: “This year has already been the bloodiest year for Palestinians in the West Bank for over a decade even before October 7. Yesterday, 4 Palestinians kids, Ahmad Abu Al Haija, Mahmoud Abu Al Haija, Ammar Al Wafa 14 year old, Mohammad Al Farhan 15 year old were killed. Bringing the total of Palestinians killed since October 7 on the West Bank to 236 children, around 8 of them killed by settlers. This year as I said has been the bloodiest and we have to do everything we can to stop this from continuing.”

He underlined that settlers terrorism on Palestine civilians in the West Bank and the raging aggression on Gaza will not bring security to Israel, and that only a just and lasting peace will. The two-state solution, he noted, is the only path to this just and lasting peace. “We must all pursue it, with determination, with vigor and with urgency. Middle East peace is a regional, European and global interest. Achieving it is in the interest of us all.”

“Going forwards requires that we
first: Work on ending this war immediately, Meeting the urgent humanitarian needs of Gazans, and immediately preparing for the reconstruction of all of Gaza, its south and its north, with a view to starting this reconstruction in parallel with the launching of a time-lined plan to implement the two-state solution. There cannot be a Gaza alone approach,” he stated.

On Europe’s role in the issue, Safadi said: “We are ready to work with our European partners to immediately start preparing for this plan, and designing mechanisms to implement it. The two-state solution cannot remain a talking point, while Israeli measures to undermine it continue unabated. We must commit, together, along with other partners, specially the United States, to end this conflict once for all, for the sake of the Palestinian people, and the sake of Israeli people.”

He urged putting pressure on the Israeli government to end its illegal and destructive occupation that denies all people of the region, Palestinians and Israelis and all of
other people their right to the peace they need and they deserve.

“The peace we seek is a peace for all. By opting for peace we are not taking sides. By opting for peace we are taking the side of the right of the Palestinian people and Israeli people to live in peace. The peace we seek is a peace that must fulfill Palestinians’ right to freedom and statehood, and must address Israel’s legitimate concerns. It is a peace that will bring security to both Palestinians and Israelis; that will ensure dignity, liberty and opportunity for both people; that will recognize the humanity of both peoples; that will end fear and hate; that will restore hope; that will guarantee that Palestinians and Israelis live side by side, in peace and with opportunity, in a region where all are accepted, all are safe, and all are cooperating,” the minister underscored.

Speaking on the UfM’s role, Safadi stated: “Our Union has a major role to play in this effort. The catastrophe of the day denies it the conditions it needs to impleme
nt its mission. But its moment must, and will, come. And when it comes we must be ready. Our Union must be preserved and strengthened as an affirmation of our partnership, as a testimony to our interconnectedness, and as an expression of our shared values and shared objectives for peace, for security, and for dignity for all.”

“Our work for implementing the two state-solution, the only path to peace and security, must begin now. It starts with ensuring an end of this brutal aggression, end of all the killing, end of all the agony, and end of all the pain and the despair that this war is bringing to 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza,” he concluded.

FM co-chairs Union for Mediterranean regional forum

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union Josep Borrell chaired Monday in Barcelona, Spain, the eighth regional forum of foreign ministers of the Union for the Mediterranean countries.

The forum, which brought together foreign ministers, representatives of EU member states, European Union officials, and representatives of relevant regional organizations, discussed means of a ceasefire and the dangerous deterioration and humanitarian catastrophe resulting from the raging war on the Gaza Strip.

Safadi delivered a speech in which he stressed that “we convene at a moment where we must convene because we are facing a catastrophe, unparalleled in years and us being here is an extremely important message that we will continue to stop this catastrophe, stop this war and put all our region on a path of a just and last and comprehensive peace that our one neighborhood deserves and has be
en working for a long time.”

“Our Union was born out of a promise for peace, a just, comprehensive and lasting peace that would have put decades of conflict behind, that would have put our region on a path towards development, growth and opportunity for all. That promise was broken,” he added.

“Israel reneged on its commitments to peace. It did not implement Oslo. It acted against the land-for-peace formula, on which the Madrid Process was launched. It has denied the region the peace that the Barcelona process, which gave birth to our Union, sought to enhance. It has systematically worked to consolidate occupation, thus undermining the two-state solution. It is “to crush the Palestinian ambition” for statehood and I’m quoting Israeli prime minister here, and not to peace that it has been committed.”

He continued: “And here we are. We convene at the 15th anniversary of the UfM at a time of war. Not a time of peace. This war on Gaza is unlawful. It is inhumane. It is devastating a whole society with killing,
displacement and destruction of health, educational and all other basic infrastructure in Gaza. This brutality, this blatant violation of international law cannot be justified.”

“We in the Arab world, in the Muslim world have unequiocally condemned the killing of Israeli civilians on October 7. But as deep as the pain is, as blinding as the outrage is, they cannot make the killing of around 15 thousand innocent Palestinians, over 6000 of them, children, acceptable,” he stressed, saying “This aggression must stop. Silence towards it must end. Weapons fueling this war must no longer flow. Political positions that Israel is exploiting to continue with the bloodbath must change. War crimes cannot and must not be normalized. Those responsible for them must be held accountable. Israel cannot be above the law.”

“We must all work to ensure that the current truce, which is supposed to end today, inevitably and immediately, becomes a permanent ceasefire. We must ensure that Gaza gets all the humanitarian supplies it
desperately needs. And UN organizations are enabled to do their job without hindrance. Israel must know it will not be allowed to force another population transfer out of Palestine. That the 1.7 million Palestinians already displaced in occupied Gaza will return to their rebuilt homes,” Safadi pointed out.

Japan provides $65K grant for Hitten Palestinian refugee camp medical center

The Government of Japan handed over medical equipment to the Jordan Medical Aid for Palestinians (JMAP) on Monday to improve the quality of medical services at the medical center in Hitten Palestinian refugee camp.

The $65,677 grant was provided for JMAP for the procurement of medical equipment under the Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP).

The assistance aims to enhance the quality of medical services provided at the medical center in the Hitten Palestinian Refugee Camp, through the provision of a new X-ray machine, electroencephalograph, and electromyography equipment.

The new medical equipment allows for the establishment of a neurology department, which will provide more comprehensive medical services, where patients will no longer have to be referred to a hospital outside the camp, hitherto a significant burden for patients economically who don’t have health insurance, according to a statement.

Japanese Ambassador OKUYAMA Jiro, who attended the ceremony, expressed his grat
itude to JMAP for its important contribution to society and stated: “As JMAP is staffed with dedicated healthcare professionals, I have no doubt that these medical equipment will be utilized effectively and efficiently to save more lives, alleviate suffering, and contribute to the overall well-being of the community in the camp.”

He also referred to the tragic situation in Gaza and emphasized that “all parties should comply with international law, including international humanitarian law. In addition, it is necessary to take all possible measure in order to prevent harm to civilians in military operations.”

JMAP President Michael Al Sayegh extended his appreciation to the Government and embassy of Japan for “this generous grant”, and highlighted the importance of the new medical equipment.

JMAP was established in 1990 as an NGO in Jordan. Since then, the organization has provided medical services to Palestinian Refugees in refugee camps at an affordable prices or free of charge. With the new medical equipm
ent, the medical center will be able to provide safer and more accurate services and improve access to medical services for underprivileged people in the camp.

Under Japanese Grant Assistance for Grass-Roots Human Security Projects, Japan has extended more than $10 million for 158 projects to non-governmental organizations, schools, hospitals and local governments in Jordan since 1993.
