Zarqa, April 26 (Petra) -- Former Deputy Prime Minister Mamdouh Al-Abadi reaffirmed on Sunday that the Palestinian cause remains the central issue for the Arab nation, despite rapid geopolitical transformations across the region.

Speaking at a seminar organized by the Jordan Press Association’s branch in Zarqa, Al-Abadi noted that successive regional changes are reshaping the conflict landscape and pushing the Palestinian issue back to the forefront of international attention.

Al-Abadi described the Middle East as the "beating heart of the world," citing its strategic position at the crossroads of three continents and its oversight of vital international maritime corridors. He emphasized that the region's vast natural resources and geographic significance continue to make it a focal point of global affairs.

Majed Al-Khodari, head of the branch, provided a historical overview of the crises impacting the Middle East, outlining major turning points and their long-term consequences for regional stability.

At the conclusion of the event, participants emphasized the importance of national unity and social cohesion. They called for continued support for the Hashemite leadership while maintaining a firm commitment to national principles amid ongoing regional challenges.
