The official Jordanian spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali, confirmed Jordan’s condemnation of the attacks on civilian sites in Saudi Arabia, and expressed Jordan’s full solidarity with the Kingdom and support for all measures taken to protect its security, stability, assets, and the safety of its citizens and residents.
