Jordanian deputy offers condolences to Washington
A deputy in the Jordanian Parliament proposed issuing a condolence statement to the American Congress for the deaths of the U.S. soldiers who were killed in an attack targeting a military base in Jordan about two weeks ago, a move that sparked widespread controversy. Some deputies rejected the idea of the condolence being issued in the name of the Parliament, arguing that it does not necessarily reflect the Jordanian street’s stance. They pointed out that such a gesture reflects the alliance and military cooperation ties between Jordan and the United States, especially amid deteriorating relations with America due to its support for Israel and the growing tensions with Iran. This initiative comes after the deaths of 17 American soldiers and injuries to over 430 others in previous attacks. It has prompted a range of responses, from support to rejection, highlighting a debate over the appropriateness of issuing an official condolence in the midst of regional and international escalations.
