Every year in March, we, the Jordanians, have the right to halt in celebration of triumph and delight, since there are events filled with pride, pride, and grandeur that were marked by the Hashemite leadership in total cohesiveness and absolute harmony with the proud Jordanian people. On the first is the anniversary of the Arabization of the army leadership, and on the 21st is the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Battle of Karameh, which was fifty-six years ago the day before yesterday, in which the bravest of the Arab army commemorated the most wonderful heroics and victories on the Jordanian grounds, after it was an important turning point in the history of our Arab nation when our valiant forces defeated the enemy and undermined its foundations. In the hearts of every envious Jordanian.
The Battle of Karameh was a test that Jordan passed with distinction because of its strong leadership and gallant soldiers. It demonstrated Jordan's ability, despite limited capabilities and resources, to protect Jordanian and Arab lands from the dangers that threaten us, as well as the Jordanian army's ability to deal with any emergency or danger, regardless of its source, if it arises. Consequently, the country's rights and future remain safeguarded.
Jordan's triumph for the Arabs and the country did not arise from sixteen hours of warfare between the Jordanian army and the enemy. It would not have been possible without the equipment, preparation, and resolve that the Supreme Leader, may God have mercy on him, has had since ascending to the Kingdom's throne. Hussein rose up with our selected Arab army and made promising preparations. And training, professionalism, and guidance to perform duty and face the imminent challenges and overwhelming dangers, as well as instilling in the souls of the soldiers and officers the highest images of military honor and the principles of the Great Arab Revolution and its sanctity in freedom, justice, sacrifice, effort, and giving for the sake of Jordan and the Arab homeland, so that the victory of dignity was a natural result, after the grace of God Almighty, of sincerity. The leadership and army's resolve, as well as their profound attachment and dedication to the motherland and nation's purpose, to fulfill their ambitions for a life of dignity, glory, and honor.
The Karama Battle, commanded by Al-Hussein, may God have mercy on him, is now a beacon of our Supreme Leader, Abu Al-Hussein's efforts, and although it was accomplished with equipment and weaponry, it is kept today by our Master's resolve, will, and persistence in taking Jordan ahead. Night on his agenda is linked to day to improve the life of the Jordanian citizen and raise his standard of living, and what are the royal initiatives that target citizens in every nook and cranny of our beloved kingdom, providing conclusive proof that His Majesty the King seeks to follow in the footsteps of our fathers and grandfathers for the sake of Jordan's eminence and prosperity?
Mother's Day coincides with the anniversary of the Battle of Karamah, and it has significant significance that we would want to discuss in depth. The mother serves as the caregiver, teacher, doctor, judge, and university professor. She is the poetry, the music, the inspiration, the stature, and the tale that continue the story. When we speak about the Battle of Karamah, it's difficult not to applaud her. Virtuous mothers' sacrifices in all regions of the Kingdom, in towns, villages, deserts, and countryside, since she is the one who taught her children the significance of love for the homeland, sincerity of belonging to it, and willingness to die for it. Thus, the mother was and continues to be a teacher in preparing generations, as well as a blazing flame to brighten others' pathways and bring a smile to the children's lips; without her, life would have no flavor, pleasure, color, or scent.
The Battle of Dignity is an appropriate national occasion for self-examination at this critical time, which necessitates solidarity, cohesion, and every possible effort to leave a profound impact and add a building block in the development process to raise the structure and achieve victory on the paths of development, reform, and progress.
