Media Freedom Push: The EU Delegation to Jordan says independent, professional journalism is “oxygen of democracy,” backing freedom of expression while warning that regulation, money pressure, and online safety risks can still push outlets toward self-censorship.

Gaza Humanitarian Fallout: Indonesia renewed calls for Israel to release detained Gaza-bound flotilla crew and journalists, including three named reporters, as Jordan continues medical support—Jordan University Hospital admitted two Gaza children under the Jordanian Medical Corridor. Jordan Tech Investment: JCIF launched Manara Ventures, a JOD 50 million Sharia-compliant growth fund targeting 20+ Jordanian tech firms. Independence Day at Royal Tank Museum: The museum will host a free, family-focused 80th Independence Day program on May 25 with military displays and aerial performances.
