فِي الثَّانِي مِنْ نُوفَمْبَرَ ٢٠٢٦، افْتَتَحَ مَلِكُ الْأُرْدُنِّ عَبْدُ اللهِ الثَّانِي دَوْرَةً جَدِيدَةً لِلْبَرْلَمَانِ. وَأَلْقَى خِطَابًا أَمَامَ أَعْضَاءِ مَجْلِسِ الْأَعْيَانِ وَالنُّوَّابِ.

قَالَ الْمَلِكُ إِنَّ الْمِيَاهَ أَوْلَوِيَّةٌ لِلْبِلَادِ. وَطَلَبَ مِنَ الْحُكُومَةِ مُوَاصَلَةَ مَشَارِيعِ الْمِيَاهِ. كَمَا طَلَبَ مِنْهَا وَضْعَ خُطَطٍ لِحِمَايَةِ مَوَارِدِ الْأُرْدُنِّ. وَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْخُطَطَ تُسَاعِدُ عَلَى حِمَايَةِ الْمِيَاهِ لِلْأَجْيَالِ الْقَادِمَةِ. وَيُوَاجِهُ الْأُرْدُنُّ نَقْصًا فِي الْمِيَاهِ. لِذَلِكَ، تَعْمَلُ الْحُكُومَةُ عَلَى حِمَايَةِ هَذِهِ الْمَوَارِدِ وَاسْتِخْدَامِهَا بِطَرِيقَةٍ جَيِّدَةٍ. وَجَاءَ هَذَا الطَّلَبُ فِي خِطَابِ الْمَلِكِ عِنْدَ افْتِتَاحِ الدَّوْرَةِ الْبَرْلَمَانِيَّةِ الْجَدِيدَةِ.
