Jordanian Prime Minister Dr. Bisher Al-Khasawneh confirmed that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip had inflationary effects reflected on the Jordanian economy, saying: The Red Sea events raised shipping rates by up to 200% from East Asia and 60% from America and Europe.

This came during Al-Khasawneh's review today, Sunday, of the impact of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on the Jordanian economy, during his speech at the opening of the economic performance and stage challenges sessions on the executive program of the economic modernization vision.

Al-Khasawneh said: "The blood of Jordanian medical cadres mixed with the people of the sector, and there is no state exerting political effort regarding the events in Gaza like Jordan," stressing that Jordan will continue to support the Gaza Strip.

Regarding the rumors about a land bridge from Jordan to the occupied territories, the Jordanian Prime Minister said: We will not remain silent about the fabricated stories against Jordan, and there is no land bridge from the Kingdom in reality and the transportation system in the country has not changed for more than 25 years, adding: It is a stain of shame on those who doubt the Jordanian stance in which the official and popular stances coincide, and we have paid prices for maintaining our constants.

Al-Khasawneh pointed out that: "No country in the world has contributed to the Palestinian cause as much as Jordan has under the leadership of King Abdullah II, who leads intensive political and diplomatic efforts to stop the brutal aggression and to deliver humanitarian aid sustainably," saying: The position of Jordan under the leadership of King Abdullah II regarding the brutal Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip needs no clarification because the daylight needs no proof.

On the internal economic issue, the Jordanian Prime Minister revealed that his government was able to attract direct foreign investments worth 673 million Jordanian dinars until the end of September 2023, noting that the total foreign investments coming to Jordan for the year 2022 were about 889 million Jordanian dinars and in 2019 about 519 million Jordanian dinars.
