He added that Jordan will continue steadfastly and courageously in His Majesty the King's footsteps in rejecting the ongoing Israeli violations in the occupied West Bank, continuing honorably and reliably the duties of the Hashemite custodianship of the Islamic and Christian holy sites, stemming from the Kingdom's historical role towards Jerusalem, and aiming for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on a two-state solution.

He pointed out that the House of Representatives is aware of the numerous challenges surrounding the Kingdom and the region, with Jordan being a haven of stability in the region, which obliges the council to fulfill its responsibilities in legislation, oversight, and pursuing the implementation of the paths of political, economic, and administrative modernization in order to translate the royal directives into a tangible reality for the citizen.
Al-Qadi emphasized that the achievements in the modernization system are the beginning of a project that requires serious and continuous work, drawing on His Majesty's saying "Nothing but the homeland" as the real measure and basis for every parliamentary party work, where there is no place for narrow interests and no interest above that of Jordan.
He affirmed that the House of Representatives will cooperate with the government according to the Constitution, to ensure the effective implementation of His Majesty the King's visions to support the national economy, create job opportunities, improve the living standards of citizens, and implement major projects and attract investments.
