The controller general of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, Dr Hammam Sa'id, said that the ummah [community of Muslims worldwide] has covered a large ground and it is now experiencing a new phase of the phases of faith and jihad and the request for jihad. He said that the best evidence of this is the legendary steadfastness on the land of Egypt, where the people do not fear death and killing, but meet their UNCLASSIFIED// 1/21/2016 10:18 AM Approved for Release: 2017/12/20 C06704847 Pript Me'ssa.ge(s) Approved for Release: 2017/12/20 C06704847 UNCLASSIFIED// fate with pleasure, because they are paying the price of their position on Jerusalem. Speaking during the opening of the 13th Al-Aqsa Festival under the slogan "We will soon meet in Al-Aqsa," which is held by the Islamic movement annually in Al-Karak Governorate, Dr Sa'id added that what is taking place on the land of Egypt now is a link in the liberation of Al-Aqsa, which has become imminent. He noted that the Jews, who felt after President Muhammad Mursi assumed the leadership of Egypt that the date of the liberation of Al-Aqsa has arrived, and after God had sent to Egypt a leader with the vigor of Salah-al-Din, have prepared themselves and stood on the side of those whom he said are the coupists of Egypt for the purpose of delaying the battle for the liberation of Jerusalem. But it is the failure, which we observe while we see honorable pictures of devotion and steadfastness on the land of Egypt. Dr Sa'id went on to say that the ummah must realize the immensity of the plot while it sees its links succeeding each other. In this respect, he pointed to the resumption of the so-called peace negotiations with the Zionists. He said that these negotiations are the last link of the links of the plot. They are negotiations, Dr Sa'id said, that are doomed to failure, since "the good signs of victory are clear." On the local Jordanian affairs, the controller general said that the Islamic movement adheres to the demands for reform, given that the achievement of reform in Jordan is a great step toward the liberation of Jerusalem. Once the people have obtained their freedom and independent will, they will not be deceived, as he said, by any treaties or policies that serve the Jews. Hamzah Mansur, secretary general of the Islamic Action Front [IAF] Party, emphasized the adherence of the Islamic movement to its stands, even if the defeatists fell and the plotters plotted. He rejected what he described as the intrigue against the movement, which has proven to everyone far and near that it is at the vanguard of those who are loyal to the ummah's values and principles.

Mansur attacked the Arab regimes, especially the Gulf regimes, which he said, have sided with the coupists of Egypt, who aim with their coup against legitimacy, according to Mansur, to make the Egyptian people surrender to the US and Zionist will. He considered America the spearhead in the suffering of the ummah. He condemned what he called the submission of the Arab regimes to America's will. The secretary general went on to say: The ummah is capable of renewing itself and building the model homeland. A new reality, he said, is taking shape in the Arab world. He noted that the battle of Palestine is the battle of the ummah with all its components, and that anyone who targets Palestine is targeting Jordan. Jordan, he said, will not get out of what he described as the circle of the plot. He stressed the adherence to the reform demands in Jordan, given that this is a national necessity, with which we protect Jordan so that it can assume its vanguard role in the liberation of Al-Aqsa. Mansur called on the officials in Jordan to adopt five stands. First Jordan should assume its responsibilities for protecting Jerusalem from Judaization. Second, it should not relinquish the right of return of the Palestinian people, since return is a right and conceding it is a crime against the ummah. [Third] he also called for not standing on the side of the coupists in Egypt. [Fourth] he asked for taking quick action to achieve comprehensive national reform. [Fifth] he also asked for releasing the prisoners of opinion and guaranteeing public freedoms. Abd-al-Rahman Abu-al-Hayja, a leader in the Islamic Movement in the 1948-occupied Palestine, said that the liberation of Al-Aqsa is the responsibility of the entire ummah. He noted that the ummah is experiencing a crucial stage these days, because what is happening in some parts of the Arab world represents the ummah's alignment to itself, while it is currently waging what he termed the battle of identity, which is not the battle of a single person or a single party, or the battle of seats and rule, but, for us, it is the UNCLASSIFIED// 1/21/2016 10:18 AM Approved for Release: 2017/12/20 C06704847 Pript Misspe(s) Approved for Release: 2017/12/20 C06704847 UNCLASSIFIED// battle of to be or not to be. Abu-al-Hayja noted that the Jewish enemy is exploiting the Arab peoples' preoccupation with organizing their internal affairs to do what it wants so as to assert its domination on the land of Palestine and its holy places. After singer Al-Mu'tasim-Billah Dabsh presented some religious songs, poet Dr Ayman al-Utum delivered some of his poems, in which he reviewed the state of the ummah and what is faced by Al-Aqsa and Palestine. The poems also referred to what is taking place on the land of Egypt. Engineer Hassan Dhunaybat, representative of Al-Karak branch of the IAF Party, said in a welcoming speech that Al-Aqsa shall remain our gibla and the pointer of our compass. In his speech, he praised the Egyptian people's struggle against those whom he said staged a coup against legitimacy. He said that anyone who blesses the coup or deals with the coupists does not represent the ummah and does not speak in its name. At the end of the activities of the opening day, Eng Al-Dhunaybat presented honor shields to the guests of the festival from outside Al-Karak Governorate.
