It was noticeable that a group of editors-in-chief and journalist writers were invited to meet with the Director of General Intelligence in Jordan, as no such meeting took place during the past two decades, especially when the meeting was collective, with the presence of the assistant security team in the current administration of the intelligence service. First, the belief that the meeting, which lasted more than four hours, came in order to promote the current administration, or enhance its reputation, at the level of management, or in response to some rumors, or to clarify the tasks and the separations between the institution and the rest of the institutions in terms of job descriptions. We were in front of an analytical vision. Sensitive and an important amount of information about the Jordanian issue and what is happening in the region, and this is all the journalist wants, that is, access to information. At the level of personal relations, due to inherited professional considerations. I read the meeting through a general context and the presence of indications of internal openness, and not in the context of the promotional empowerment of the administration, personally or professionally, in front of public opinion, or its promotion of its policies or achievements, especially, that the nose It seems rare to the media in the region in this way. The director listened to many remarks, some of which were very bold and critical of the internal situation, on the part of the audience. It was not a session of courtesies in the traditional sense, but some journalists said their opinion, which they may not make public, in an unexpected way, Of course, it does not lack decency, which made many sensitive observations under follow-up from the management, and this is also an opportunity for us to say our opinion and ours. The method of selecting his new officers, restructuring, and rearranging his papers, his moral and functional standards, his qualification according to changes, his relationship with people. The second axis deals with the relationship of the apparatus with the rest of the institutions, especially, the government and the director repeatedly say in the meeting that the intelligence only advises, does not impose its opinion, and does not manage the government And it is consulted and does not interfere in everything as some think, and according to the concept of comprehensive security, it comes and warns of the cost of a crisis that may occur, in order to help the government, or other institutions, to take preemptive and firefighting measures before some crises occur, and for the sake of the public interest. General, of course. The director repeatedly reiterated that the apparatus was not against the political modernization committee, as was rumored, and did not fight a battle to thwart it. Rather, the apparatus, under the direction of the king, was supportive of the committee, and the overwhelming opinion is that its recommendations are good, and it is clear from this third axis, From the axis that preceded it, the director wants to say that the apparatus does not obstruct anyone, and abides by the job description of his role. The fourth axis relates to terrorism and the ability of the apparatus to thwart more than 120 terrorist operations inside and outside Jordan in less than two years, in all countries of the world, thus strengthening The importance of Jordan in the eyes of the world, and it indicates the role of Jordan in spreading stability, so that the Director confirms that Jordan is strong and solid, despite all the burning crises, in its neighborhood, around it and around it, which are crises laden with threats and challenges. In the fifth axis, the Director touched on the positive industry in Jordan, And that it is important to renounce melancholy, and stop harming people’s reputation, and that we must maximize the positives so as not to destroy the morale of Jordanians, and not turn away investment, and that the positive industry must remain a title in the internal media, which is a professional industry by nature, in need of ideas, based on In the media message, the sixth axis, he indicated that the two titles of the next stage are political development and focus on the economy, concluding this meeting in its seventh axis with a detailed and sensitive talk about Jordan’s relations with its neighbor in the region, specifically Syria, Iraq, Palestine, and so on, so that you discover new details, Your information talks about many issues directly related to Jordan, or its interests for the coming period. What does the general want to say at this time, and why this timing, exclusively, and then in this way? Questions that I answer implicitly, but the conclusion says that this is a unique pattern in the eastern Mediterranean.
