On regional affairs, the Prime Minister said Jordan's neighborhood was undergoing "profound transformations" and reiterated the country's belief in a shared Arab future.

He confirmed Jordan's continued support for Syria through diplomacy, civil defense, humanitarian assistance, technical expertise, and administrative cooperation. He noted improved conditions at the Sweida border and said Jordan played a key diplomatic role in stabilizing the situation.
Regarding the war in Gaza, Hassan said: "We hope the Israeli brutality and the tragedy in Gaza end soon. Our top priority remains delivering humanitarian aid and helping the people of Gaza endure."
He reaffirmed Jordan's commitment to the Palestinian cause, calling the protection of Palestinians on their land the most urgent objective. "This is essential for continuing our efforts with the international community to realize a Palestinian state and restore legitimate rights," he said.
He noted that Jordan continues to deliver aid to Gaza daily under extremely difficult conditions. "Our efforts have not stopped for a single day or hour," he emphasized.
In Jerash's tourism sector, Hassan revealed plans for a major tourism development project set to open in two years on a site initially designated for an industrial city. The project, led by the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in cooperation with the government, will include a hotel, eco-resort, conference hall, family areas, nature-friendly playgrounds, and swimming pools.
He also announced a package of water infrastructure projects to address chronic shortages in Jerash, including a summer expansion of free water tanker deliveries. The Ministry of Water and Irrigation will double the number of tankers to help mitigate supply disruptions.
