The House of Representatives session today, Wednesday, witnessed tension in the atmosphere after the end of MP Bassem Al-Rawabdeh's speech during the discussion of the budget bill, leading to raised voices inside the dome.
The tension began when MP Saleh Abu Tayeh addressed Al-Rawabdeh in a speech that was not clearly heard, prompting the latter to stop and respond to him, before the chairman of the council Mazen Al-Qadi intervened to end the discussion, saying: "Honorable MP Saleh, please."
MP Amal Al-Shuqran, who was sitting in the assistant chair, clarified the reason behind the situation by whispering to the judge that Abu Tayeh's anger stemmed from Al-Rawabdeh not mentioning his tribe's name among the Jordanian tribes mentioned in his speech.
Al-Rawabdeh had said: "All of us, as Jordanians, Al-Rawabdeh, Al-Qadi, Al-Tarawneh, Al-Armouti, Al-Freihat, and Al-Amoush, Al-Khuzooz, Al-Raqab, Al-Tahboub, Abu Henia, Abu Hasan, Al-Oudat, Al-Rubeihat, Al-Qatawneh, Aql, Al-Sheeshani, Al-Madanat, Al-Khasawneh, Al-Adwan, and all the tribes, I exclude no one, in support of His Majesty the King."
The chairman of the council, the judge, also confirmed that the omission of Abu Tayeh's tribe was an oversight, emphasizing that Al-Rawabdeh did not intend to exclude anyone.
For his part, MP Abu Tayeh said in his speech during the discussions: "I feel there is a war on the Badia... We are fighters, even the colleague who spoke briefly left history and left us and did not mention our name. We were the first to sacrifice, and the first to defend Jordan, and we are the ones whose loyalty and allegiance to the homeland does not change, and we will remain with the homeland until we die."
