AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Death Penalty Expansion: Prime Minister Jafar Hassan says Jordan will amend legislation to broaden death-penalty application, after six executions carried out under the State Security Court, framing it as a “clear warning” to those targeting the Jordan Armed Forces and security agencies and to major drug traffickers working with foreign criminal networks. Zarqa Development Push: Hassan also unveiled a JD800 million, three-year executive development programme for Zarqa, with 155 projects (77% completion so far), prioritizing healthcare, education and public transport, alongside industrial growth and jobs. Transport Connectivity: The Land Transport Regulatory Commission invites residents to use a new direct public transport link between Jerash/Balqa and King Hussein Medical Center, starting tomorrow, with scheduled trips from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and buses equipped with electronic payment and surveillance systems. Amman Census Update: The Department of Statistics reports the 2026 General Population and Housing Census enumeration phase is 86% complete nationwide, with building enumeration at 87% and digital self-enumeration interest at 21%. Arab League Diplomacy in Amman: Jordan will host a consultative meeting of Arab foreign ministers and the resumed 165th Arab League Council session at ministerial level. Humanitarian Aid to Gaza: QRCS, with JHCO, completed a food and potable-water assistance drive in Gaza, distributing about 59,095 food parcels to vulnerable displaced families.
