Amman:Lower House Speaker Ibrahim Tarawneh has announced that Jordan's Lower House will collaborate with the government to review and enhance legislation related to terrorism and extremism. The initiative aims to identify and address potential legal loopholes and shortcomings in these laws.

According to Federation of Arab News Agencies, Tarawneh emphasized the importance of the Parliament's legislative and oversight responsibilities in maintaining national security and stability. He highlighted recent threats to Jordan’s security, stability, and national unity, stressing that those who attempt to destabilize the Kingdom benefit from such acts.

Tarawneh advised against premature conclusions before investigations are completed and expressed confidence in the capabilities of Jordan's security agencies. He praised the security services and armed forces for their sacrifices, urging public support for these personnel and caution against online hostility towards them.

Addressing extremism, Tarawneh stated that combating terrorism requires coordinated efforts beyond security measures, involving state institutions, society, and increased public awareness of extremist ideologies. He warned against tolerance of extremist ideas, which could foster an environment conducive to extremism.

He further stressed that religious teachings should promote compassion, tolerance, and respect for human life, and should never justify violence or terrorism. Additionally, plans were announced for an initiative to counter extremist ideology, raise public awareness, and strengthen societal resilience against threats to national security.

Lastly, Tarawneh mentioned that legal experts and specialists would be consulted to examine existing legislation, identify exploitable loopholes, and propose improvements to strengthen Jordan's counterterrorism framework.
