In this context, Jordanians confirmed that they would head out to welcome His Majesty the King and the Crown Prince, coming from various governorates across the Kingdom.
A call for a "million-man march" has been issued to demonstrate the unwavering loyalty and support of the Jordanian people for the King.
These calls come as an expression of pride in the firm stances taken by His Majesty, particularly during his recent meeting with US President Donald Trump, where he emphasized that Jordan will not be a substitute homeland and rejected any plans aimed at displacing Palestinian brothers, reiterating that the Palestinian issue will remain a top priority for Jordan.
The event is scheduled to take place at Marka Military Airport on Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025. Participants are encouraged to wear the traditional red and white keffiyeh and carry the Jordanian flag, both of which symbolize the deep-rooted connection and allegiance to the nation and its leader.
The calls highlighted that His Majesty, drawing from his Hashemite legacy, continues to defend the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state. They pointed out that his clear and explicit positions have placed the Arab nation before its historical responsibilities and called for a unified stance in the face of the regional and international challenges facing the Palestinian cause.
The calls concluded by emphasizing that Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty the King, will remain resilient in the face of pressures and challenges, steadfast in its principles and values, and a defender of its rights and the rights of Palestinian brothers, remaining as it always has been, a model of patience, steadfastness, and resilience.
