A statement from Representative Khalil Attia
We must not, as Jordanians, allow the Israeli enemy, which practices all kinds of piracy, terrorism, and brutal and criminal acts against our people in the occupied territory, to attack us again, the people and the government, through the incident of “arresting and arresting” a generous colleague of ours in the House of Representatives.
Regardless of the “details” of what the brutal Israeli customs authorities announced, the Jordanian government must move immediately and without any delay or hesitation to work to secure the release of our colleague, who is now detained by the occupation authorities.
Also, regardless of the “intentions, background” and motives of what the occupation authorities claimed was a process of “smuggling weapons or other things,” it is our national duty now to see our colleague, a member of the Jordanian Parliament, among his family and in the custody of his country’s institutions, and not to leave any space for the enemy so that he can harm the dignity of Jordanians The arrest and imprisonment of a member of the Council.
I demand immediate action diplomatically, politically and legally.
I remind our wise government that the constitutional foundations for the immunity of the Jordanian representative require a constitutional, political, legal and moral duty to provide “protection” for any Jordanian citizen whose rights the occupation authorities violate, regardless of the reason.
And we all know how our authorities released in the recent past an “Israeli killer” who killed in cold blood two Jordanian citizens in the “Embassy and Rabieh” incident and on the basis of his trial in the well-known entity, while our duty today is to work immediately to recover the member of Parliament who is now arrested in the hands of the occupation authorities so that he is held accountable If he has violated the law in his home country and under Jordanian laws.
We hold the government responsible for any “failure” to secure the rights of our colleague outside the occupation authorities, and we warn of the repercussions of any new Israeli violation in this context, and our national legal system is capable of dealing with the incident and incident, whatever the details.
