Speaking to a meeting titled "Security and stability are two pillars in building the state," held on Tuesday within the Government Communication Forum, Farayah said that security campaigns are ongoing to counter some illegal phenomena.
"These campaigns don't target specific people or areas, and no area is beyond the reach of the law," Farayah emphasized in the meeting that was attended by Government Communications and Government Spokesperson Muhannad Mubaiadeen.
He pointed out that there is an increase in the number of arrivals to the Kingdom, noting that the number of arrivals to the Kingdom through border centers increased by about half a million compared to last year, especially after Syrians living abroad were allowed to visit the Kingdom for humanitarian purposes.
Farayah underscored that Jordan can no longer bear the burden of refugees, especially Syrians, noting that the international response to support the hosting of Syrian refugees is very limited.
He said that Jordan hosts more than one million Syrian refugees, explaining that about 95,000 refugees have voluntarily returned to their countries. "The government is reviewing strategies related to the refugee file, and there is no intention to impose a forced return of refugees to their country," Farayah added.
On the Marka case, the Interior Minister said that it was aimed at tampering with national security and was contained, and all those involved were reached, and that Jordanian society is more insistent on the rule of law and its application.
Regarding the smuggling of drugs into the kingdom, Farayah emphasized that this issue is still a concern, revealing that there has been an increase in cases seized this year to date compared to last year.
