In response to a gathering of citizens for a peaceful sit-in near its premises, the Ministry expressed appreciation and respect for this peaceful expression of opinion, acknowledging the challenges faced by every Jordanian in the current circumstances, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

Addressing a prevalent misconception, the ministry explained that its role involves developing export routes and mechanisms without directly granting export licenses. It further clarified that exports to Europe undergo a transit process, passing through the port of Haifa, due to the closures of the northern and eastern borders.

The Ministry pointed out that there is a small number of independent traders working under private contracts, not affiliated with any Ministry business incubator.

It reaffirmed its alignment with the official Jordanian position led by His Majesty King Abdullah, supporting the rights of the Palestinian people and vehemently opposing the brutal and inhumane campaign.

Highlighting its ongoing efforts, the Ministry mentioned the establishment of the Jordanian-Palestinian company aimed at marketing agricultural products. This initiative aims to support the resilience of Palestinian farmers and promote the export of Palestinian products from the West Bank and Gaza to international markets.
