AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Death Penalty Resumes: Jordan has executed six people after nearly nine years without executions, citing deterrence and national security needs, a move that again puts it at odds with European opposition to capital punishment. Regional Diplomacy: Ireland’s departing ambassador to Amman said Dublin will keep backing Jordan and the two-state solution, highlighting education links and humanitarian support. Humanitarian Aid: Jordan sent its ninth aid convoy to Lebanon—20 trucks coordinated with the armed forces, foreign ministry, WFP and UNRWA—and also dispatched medical and logistical supplies to surgical stations in Ramallah and Jenin. Security Crackdown: Authorities seized 1.4 million amphetamine pills hidden inside a rock-crusher machine, arresting suspects including Saudi citizens and a Jordanian resident. Economy & Markets: The Amman Stock Exchange logged JD12.7m in trading volume as the index rose 0.54%; exchange companies also report strong dinar demand tied to exports and remittances. Energy & Industry: Jordan announced proven uranium reserves for up to 80 years and said renewable systems connected to JEPCO’s grid surpassed 40,000 installations. Sports Tragedy: A 15-year-old fan died after a crowd crush during a World Cup screening in Amman; the national team observed a minute of silence as preparations continue for Argentina.
