Watan-The Jordanian advocate and Sharia professor, Osama Abu Bakr, emphasized the necessity and importance of severing supply and land connections with the Israeli occupation, regardless of the costs, noting that this is a legal matter and silence about it is not permissible.
In a recorded video segment monitored by (Watan), the Jordanian advocate stated, “The issue of cutting off supplies to the Zionists is a legal matter… It is not permissible religiously to remain silent about the continued existence of a land bridge supplying the Zionists with food and goods.”
He added regarding the mentioned land bridge, “It must be closed no matter the cost because it supports the occupation and increases pressure on our brothers in Palestine.”
He continued, “The nation’s youth and women must rise to close this bridge, and whoever betrays the Muslims will be betrayed by Allah in this world and the Hereafter.”

Call to Mobilize
Call to mobilize Saudi academic and activist Jameel Akbar commented on an old tweet of his, calling for mobilization to counter this Israeli aggression with knives, axes, and guns.
Akbar said, “Mobilization is the only way to salvation. Terror is the weapon of the hour,” adding, “If a soldier stands between the Zionists and those who want to support our brothers in Gaza, is it permissible to neutralize or even fight him if he fights? Yes, by Allah, indeed. It is a duty.”
Regarding the reason for this duty, the writer mentioned, “There is no hope in the rulers. Therefore, killing our brothers in Gaza will not stop, nor will Israel disappear unless the people move. And because only iron can blunt iron.”
Meanwhile, a Twitter user named Abdullah saw, “The reasons for explosion exist in all Arab countries,” and continued, “Only when and where will it start, and who will ignite the first spark? Insha’Allah, sooner rather than later, O Lord of the Worlds.”

Widespread Jordanian Anger over Statements by Bisher al-Khasawneh
Widespread Jordanian anger over statements by Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh Jordanian Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh denied recent rumors about the passage of a “land bridge” through Jordan to Israel, threatening to take action regarding what he described as “fabricating stories out of thin air.”
During a speech in the capital Amman in the presence of members of the Jordanian government, al-Khasawneh said, “We do not accept the auctioning of our position towards the Gaza war… It is a disgrace to those who doubt our official and popular stance on this.”
Followers responded to al-Khasawneh with varying comments on social media platforms, including the account of Al-Asstoura, who commented, “It is clear that he is a liar and he says that it is the same situation as 25 years ago, meaning that the transportation of goods has not stopped even during this war.”
Kuwaiti activist Abdulaziz Al-Maneess sarcastically asked, “Is there anyone who does not know that the Jordanian regime and ‘Israel’ are twins?”
