On Wednesday Engineer Samir Habashneh delivered a lecture to scholars in the 22nd Defense Course and the 8th Master's Program in Strategies for Countering Extremism and Terrorism at the Royal Jordanian National Defense College . The lecture was titled "Jordanian Identity and Personality," attended by the College's commander, president, and members of its steering committee.

He stated that the Jordanian personality is a derivative of the balanced Arab personality throughout history, with all its qualities, blending Arab heritage with the values ​​of tolerant Islam and its Levantine character, founded on the principles of coexistence, harmony, and mutual support under the umbrella of Arab identity, encompassing all its diverse cultural components, including ethnicities, religions, sects, and denominations.

He explained that the concept of Jordanian identity, the political and social environment, and the elements of the national state forces are concepts derived from the reality of the Jordanian experience and Jordanian performance, with its historical dimension, material performance, and steadfast moral values.

He emphasized that contemporary Jordanian history is revealed when we mention the Palestinian cause, a cause that clearly expresses our identity and belonging to this nation. He emphasized that the Palestinian cause is not only an Arab issue for Jordan, but rather an internal Jordanian issue for the country's leadership, the Jordanian people, and the armed forces, which have always been at the forefront of defending the freedom and Arab identity of Palestine.

At the end of the lecture, an open dialogue took place during which the guest answered the students' questions and inquiries.
