Amid ongoing regional turbulence, and following the recent American-Israeli war against Iran—which lasted nearly forty days before a ceasefire was declared—Jordanians have experienced a state of understandable concern. This concern is not only about the events unfolding around them, but also about the real possibility that instability could spill over into our own country. Although the fighting has paused, the questions remain—and perhaps have grown even more pressing—especially regarding Jordan’s position and role in such a complex environment.
However, beyond all the analysis and speculation, a more important question arises: why do we focus so heavily on interpreting the actions of others while overlooking our own internal reality? Why do we allow ourselves to be consumed by conspiracy theories, instead of prioritizing our country—its stability, and the challenges we face every day?
Jordan today is not only navigating external pressures; it is also confronting serious internal economic and social challenges that affect every citizen. Rising living costs, unemployment, and increasing pressure on public services are all urgent issues that require focused national attention—rather than excessive preoccupation with conflicts beyond our control.
At this stage, the responsibility of the Jordanian government goes beyond managing foreign relations wisely. It must also prioritize the needs of its people at home. Protecting the nation’s internal stability is not achieved through security measures alone, but through improving living conditions, strengthening public trust, and genuinely listening to citizens.
At the same time, citizens share this responsibility. A stable country cannot be built in an atmosphere of constant doubt and pessimism. Constructive criticism is both necessary and healthy, but turning every issue into accusations or undermining the state weakens society as a whole and only benefits those who wish to see the country destabilized.
Lessons from neighboring countries clearly show that internal collapse often begins with a loss of trust and a shift in focus toward external conflicts at the expense of domestic priorities. Jordan cannot afford to repeat these mistakes, nor can it risk heading down a similar path.
While regional threats—whether from Iran or Israel—are real, the greater risk lies in neglecting our own internal cohesion and priorities. Becoming emotionally or politically entangled in external conflicts distracts from the work we must do at home to strengthen our society and economy.
Jordan is a sovereign nation, and its decisions must always be guided by its own national interests—not by external pressures or expectations. It is time to move away from being drawn into the crises of others or paying the price for conflicts we did not create.
I am not a political analyst or a strategic expert, but a retired civil pilot who deeply cares about this country and its future. My wish is simple: for Jordan’s skies to remain safe, for its people to live with dignity, and for the country to avoid the instability we see elsewhere.
Today, more than ever, we need to reset our priorities—starting from within. We must focus on strengthening our economy, improving education, creating job opportunities, ensuring justice, and fostering a genuine sense of belonging among all citizens. A nation is not protected by foreign policy alone; it is protected by a people who feel they are active partners in shaping its future.
The recent ceasefire may offer a temporary pause, but it does not eliminate the challenges ahead. In this context, our greatest strength lies not in aligning with one side or another, but in maintaining internal unity and working collectively for the good of our country.
In conclusion, it is time to move beyond doubt and division. Jordan is not a battlefield, and it must never become one. Preserving its stability requires all of us to put the nation first, to work for its benefit, and to protect it through unity, awareness, and shared responsibility—so that it remains a place of safety and resilience in an uncertain world.
