Lawyer Al-Majali rejects using nationality to reshape population
Lawyer Ziyad Yaseen Al-Magali discussed the controversy over revoking or stripping citizenship in the context of addressing the dangers of forced displacement. He emphasized that Jordanian citizenship is a fundamental legal bond that cannot be collectively revoked based on ethnicity or place of residence. He responded to proposals by Major General Musa Al-Adwan, clarifying that Jordanian law specifies causes for losing citizenship on an individual basis, not collectively. Targeting a specific group of West Bank residents contradicts the principle of constitutional equality. He also warned that revoking citizenships will not prevent displacement schemes; rather, it may provide pretexts for Israeli movements and weaken Jordan’s stance. He affirmed that the best solution is to support the legal right of the population to remain on their land, and to reject using citizenship as a tool to reshape demographics.
