Podcasts about Amman

In February, King Abdullah II of Jordan rebuffed US President Donald Trump's proposal for his country to absorb Palestinians living in Gaza — part of the now infamous “Riviera” plan. When dealing with the Trump administration, the Jordanian king is certainly caught in a bind between rejecting Palestinian displacement and restoring the flow of foreign assistance from Washington. An aid-reliant economy notwithstanding, Amman has longstanding identity issues arising from citizens of Palestinian origins, tracing back to the aftermath of the 1948 war which saw Jordan's population triple with the addition of Palestinian refugees and inhabitants of the West Bank. Domestically, Jordan's recent parliamentary elections held last September produced a strong Islamist showing, with the Islamic Action Front (IAF) — the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood — emerging as the largest bloc in the legislative body. Amman also had to navigate the succession crisis in 2021 involving Prince Hamzah bin Hussein, whose house arrest and subsequent public reconciliation with King Abdullah II revealed underlying tensions within the Hashemite royal family. The Middle East Institute hosted Steve L. Monroe and Nicolai Due-Gundersen, two newly-minted authors and experts on Jordan, to address the above issues and more.

Anche se ha subito un inevitabile contraccolpo economico e diplomatico dalla guerra a Gaza e dalla crisi in Siria, la Giordania resta un'isola di stabilità in un Medio Oriente turbolento. Legata a Israele da un trattato di pace sottoscritto nel 1994, ha oltre il 60 percento di cittadini di origine palestinese su una popolazione di undici milioni di persone, gran parte delle quali stanno vivendo in prima persona il massacro in corso a Gaza. Nell'ultimo anno e mezzo la monarchia hashemita guidata da re Abdallah II di Giordania si è mossa in una situazione molto difficile, da un lato condannando Israele e facilitando l'accesso agli aiuti a Gaza, dall'altro ha lasciato però intatti i rapporti con Tel Aviv e Washington fondati su accordi politico-militari di lunga data.Alla fine di gennaio Amman ha sottoscritto anche un nuovo partenariato strategico con l'Unione Europea, un accordo che conferma, una volta di più, che il Paese sulla sponda orientale del fiume Giordano è il partner più affidabile di Bruxelles in Medio Oriente. In questo reportage che ci ha portati dalla capitale Amman all'entità economica autonoma di Aqaba, affacciata sul Mar Rosso, abbiamo cercato di comprendere come ha fatto la Giordania a mantenere una stabilità invidiabile e una buona condizione economica interna considerando che confina con aree di grande crisi come la Siria, il Libano, l'Iraq e la Palestina.

Ist es wichtig, dass man als Pilger oder Touristin die „echte“ Via Dolorosa entlanggeht? Zumal am Karfreitag? Für Dieter Vieweger verändert es den eigenen Glauben nicht, dass die Straße, die Jesus ging, mittlerweile metertief im Boden und an ganz anderer Stelle ist, er spricht von einer „Erinnerungslandschaft“. Der Professor für Theologie und Archäologie leitet seit über 20 Jahren das Deutsche Evangelische Institut für Altertumswissenschaft des Heiligen Landes in Jerusalem und Amman. In unserer Karfreitagsausgabe von Vertikal Horizontal erzählt er unter anderem von seiner Arbeit, dem tatsächlichen Ort Golgatha und der derzeitigen Stimmung in Jerusalem.

Meenakshi Amman Made Prasadam for Her Devotee, Srinivasan.

Taking over our latest edition of Select is Bahrain-based DJ Sudz. Having initially begun his journey in the electronic music scene seven years ago spinning Jungle and Drum & Bass, Sudz has recently started dabbling more into the techno spectrum. He has quickly built a reputation in the region for his vigilant crate digging and multi-layered sets that traversed dancefloors in Dubai and Amman. His select set, which marks his comeback to the night life after a brief hiatus, encompasses sounds from his earliest influences, toeing with the peripheries between chill hypnotic melodies and dark ominous grooves –all wrapped in a relentless 4/4 drum pattern. The set features eclectic tunes by international artists such as ‘RB208' by Oscar Mulero, ‘Forgotten Dunes' by Funk Assault, and ‘Linear System' by Kosher.

Amman, Jordan is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, and the ongoing desertification of the region continues to threaten its resources. Our SUGi Forest Maker Deema Assaf watched her hometown of Amman become almost unrecognisable as urbanisation swept through its landscapes.Understanding the cost of losing so much Nature she trained to become a Forest Maker and in 2018 she planted the first Miyawaki Forest of the Arab world.Focussing on preserving the genetic diversity of Jordan, Deema's important work has protected some of the country's most endangered tree species. On this excerpt of SUGi Talks, we speak about Amman's rapid urbanisation, and the importance of changing mindsets towards Nature

President Donald Trump is threatening to cut off aid to Jordan and Egypt if they do not submit to his outrageous demand to take in the Palestinians he hopes to forcibly displace from Gaza. Forced population transfers and denying people the right to return to their land are violations of international law. The president's idea of emptying Gaza of Palestinians, so the U.S. can take over the Gaza Strip and redevelop it, ignores important history. Palestinians who were once driven into Jordan after 1967 turned that country into a base to attack Israel, leading to a civil war in Amman in 1970. Trump is also repeating the mistake of the Abraham Accords, the diplomatic breakthrough of his first term. In this episode, scholar Khaled Elgindy breaks down Trump's Gaza proposal and delves into the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"Killing and Starving children is not Jewish. Fighting antisemitism demands decoupling of Jews from Israel." Since many people don't have time to read full articles anymore, I want to start by linking to two poignant interviews I've had the privilege of conducting over the last few years: - Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish, the first Palestinian doctor to work in an Israeli hospital: lost his wife to leukaemia aged just 43, leaving him with their 8 children. Just four months later,during the 2008-9 Gaza War, three of his daughters and one niece were killed. And yet Izzeldin has dedicated his life to using health as a vehicle for peace.  https://play.rtl.lu/shows/en/in-conversation-with-lisa-burke/episodes/n/1612726 - Bassam Aramin, Palestinian, and Rami Elhanan, Israeli, are members of The Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF), due to the most painful loss of their daughters at different times due to the intractable Israel and Palestine conflict. They have become 'brothers' and advocate constantly for solidarity and peace in their land. https://play.rtl.lu/shows/en/in-conversation-with-lisa-burke/episodes/n/2171062 Last week saw the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. It also saw the return of Palestinians to the north of Gaza. This juxtaposition of events hits hard. The 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz had 56 survivors of the camp in attendance; down from 200 survivors for the 75th anniversary. We are losing the voice of those who experienced violence, discrimination, hatred and genocide first hand in these camps of torture and death. Of course we must add it was not only Jews that suffered in these camps. Meanwhile, anti-semitism is on the rise since Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October 2023 and the ensuing war in Gaza and Lebanon. This sudden attack on 7 October was not out of nowhere of course. It follows in a line of attacks on both sides, and in the greater region, over decades, despite various ‘agreements', ‘accords', political handshakes… nothing has yet brought peace. On my show this week I have four strong and learned voices on the region, the culture and the law: - Dalia Hader, a Palestinian living in Luxembourg who is asking for petition signatures here so that the Government of Luxembourg discusses this topic in the chamber: “Luxembourg must sanction Israel for its policies in Palestine.” https://www.petitions.lu/petition/3231 - Martine Kleinberg, President, Jewish Call for Peace a.s.b.l. - Dr. Michel Erpelding, International lawyer specialising in this region - Dr. Engy Ali, President of MSF Luxembourg Dalia Hader, is a Palestinian from Jerusalem but grew up primarily in Amman, Jordan. Like so many Palestinians, families often move if they have a choice as it becomes untenable to ‘live' and raise a family in Israel / Palestine. Current records show the state of Palestine to have about 5.5 million inhabitants. The Palestinian diaspora is numbered at about 7.4 million. About one third of Palestinians living in Palestine are under the age of 15; only about 3% live to be over 65. We discuss one definition of genocide with Dr. Michel Erpelding, which targets the killing of children to minimise population growth. Access to care and medication Dr. Engy Ali, President of Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF Luxembourg, is specialised in Critical Care medicine and public health, working for over 20 years in the medical and humanitarian field; 12 years with Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders. She has worked in Bangladesh, Kenya, Somalia, Nigeria, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Mali, Mauritania, Haiti, Liberia, DRC, Philippines, Pakistan, Gaza and Europe.   The MSF team in Gaza have lost 9 members since 7 October 2023. This loss is deeply felt by the MSF family as they dedicate their lives to giving access to health to all, equally. ‘Access to care and medication' is, according to Dr. Ali, the driving force of MSF. Dr. Ali reminds us that MSF has been present in Gaza for years. She herself was working Gaza in 2020, trying to organise medical evacuation programmes for complex trauma cases (but then Covid 19 happened.) “Our humanitarian action in Gaza is guided by our core humanitarian principles of neutrality and impartiality, but we do not stay silent about humanitarian crises as in Gaza. We publicly speak out and report attacks on healthcare facilities, shortages of medical supplies, and obstacles to access care, ensuring that humanitarian needs are recognized.” The testimonials you hear in this interview are from from Nadia Abo Mallouh, MSF medical coordinator from Rafah, and Abu Abed, Deputy Medical Coordiantor. Impunity reinforces antisemitism Martine Kleinberg, President of Jewish Call for Peace (JCP) has worked unceasingly to increase the clamour of Jewish voices that do not want to be connected with the direction of Israel's government and want to work with Palestinians for peace. This is a growing movement around the world with the Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Not in My Name refrain. https://jewishcallforpeace.lu Martine is herself trained in conflict resolution and prevention.  JCP is a founding Member of the European Jews for Palestine launched in October 2024, with more than 20 organisations in 14 European countries, a member of Global Jews for Palestine, and a Member of Luxembourg Collectives for Palestine. On 1 February Martine organised a conference to discuss: “Exploiting Memory: the Holocaust and the distortion of antisemitism” In organising this event, Martine faced cultural decision makers in Luxembourg who did not want their venue associated with such open conversations. Neimënster said no; the Culture Bar said yes. Neimenster said this event did not “correspond to their values…the title leads to negative interpretations against associations and institutions partnered with Neimënster. As a public establishment we remain a neutral entity and cannot be associated with this type of event” Martine is extremely clear in her own reckoning of what the Israeli government are doing to use Judaism as an instrument of war: “I refuse the instrumentalization of my Jewish identity for colonialist supremacist purpose, that has nothing to do with Judaism. My commitment is the solidarity with the oppressed and deconstruction of antisemitic prejudices.” Martine believes strongly that there is a “weaponization of the Holocaust memory and antisemitism by Israel, to gain impunity, which is destroying international law”. “Fighting antisemitism demands decoupling of Jews from Israel.” Martine Kleinberg is aghast on why almost no religious leaders, of all religions, cannot speak out with clarity that the violence against a trapped civilian population in Gaza is indefensible and wrong Does International Law have any power anymore? Michel Erpelding, is a legal scholar in the history of international law, with an additional degree in Middle Eastern studies, and works on international law particularly related to colonialism and individual rights. We speak about the definitions of international lawyers and the International Criminal Court of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and apartheid.   Israel was viewed by the UN, well before 7 October 2023, as an occupying power in Gaza, and as such remained bound by international law to meet the essential needs of the civilian population. Israel can control water going into Gaza. It can exert decisive control over Gaza via land, air and sea. We explore the notion of ‘double standards' in political discourse when it comes to annexation (for example, Putin annexing Crimea; Netanyahu annexing East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the West Bank). Naturally the 7 October attacks by Hamas was the catalyst to this most recent war, but there is also the legal notion of ‘proportionality' in war. Dr. Erpeling and Dalia discuss why the Oslo Accords of 1995 did not work. “Oslo led to a clearer apartheid reality in the West Bank and Jerusalem” says Dalia, and goes on to say how certain Palestinian segregation means one cannot drive on certain roads, cannot visit certain parts of Palestine without the ‘right' passport, requires a certain number plate, will be held up for hours at check-points to be humiliated, and so the layers of discrimination continue. This un-ending story of war sits in a region where, fundamentally, humanity has been abandoned. And this humanity at its core, will find not much difference between Israelis and Palestinians, just like the Irish and Northern Irish, just like the Ukrainians and Russians. When the Ukraine war started, how often did we hear the line, “But they are our brothers and sisters?”  Humanity is a source of life and support. Borders, walls, check-points, active discrimination and suppression are not the acts of humans who, with a religion or not, know what is right in their heart. Let's end with a recent poll in the French newspaper La Tribune Dimanche, which showed that when 986 people aged between 16 and 24 were questioned about the Holocaust, one in five had never heard of it (18%), and almost one in five had heard of it without knowing more (17%). Let's try to remember what has gone before.  Let's try to break the circles of hatred in history. Get in touch  Contact Lisa on LinkedIn or via her website.

With new Israeli legislation coming into effect on Thursday outlawing Palestine refugee agency, UNRWA, international staff have already been forced to leave the agency's headquarters in East Jerusalem for Jordan, after their visas were cut short.The UN is bracing for the “nightmare scenario” which would mean a halt to all operations – a major blow to “all the people it serves” in the region, UNRWA spokesperson Jonathan Fowler told UN News's Ezzat El-Ferri from Amman, Jordan.The move represents another blow to multilateralism worldwide, he said.

When engaging Muslims with the truth of Christianity, it is crucial we understand clearly not only our own doctrines but those of our Muslim friends and neighbors as well.

Join this milestone episode to look back on the path Where Work Meets Life™ has taken so far and celebrate what is still to come.“I think that passion, it looks and feels different for different people. There's also a reality in the mix of I may be passionate about, you know, some obscure form of art, but I'm not able to support my family off of that. So I may find a career that's interesting and challenging, but my passion remains in that obscure form of art. And that's fine. I think the word passion can be a bit extreme for some people, and it can make them feel that if they don't have a passion, will they be unhappy in their career? And that's not it. But what I sure want for people is not to have the opposite of passion, which is feeling depleted and unfulfilled and it's soul-sucking and you dread Mondays.” Dr. LauraWatch this episode on Dr. Laura's YouTube channelAbout Dave Kelly:Dave Kelly is an award-winning host, writer, and interviewer who creates intelligent and deeply human moments for events and keynote conversations around the world.

In this episode Jennifer shares insights from her 15 years of experience as a language advisor and program director in Amman, Jordan. With over 1,800 students coached, Jennifer discusses common language errors that are often made while learning spoken Levantine Arabic. This episode focuses on two key categories of errors: 1. Verbs with Different Functions: You'll gain awareness of how Arabic verbs can differ significantly from their English counterparts. For instance, while English uses one verb for "to spread," Arabic employs two distinct verbs depending on the context—one for spreading news and another for spreading tangible items like butter. Jennifer highlights the nuances in verb usage and encourages learners to observe these differences in order to improve their communication. 2. Overuse of Delexicalized Verbs: Learn about the pitfalls of relying on delexicalized verbs and helping verbs in Arabic, such as "got" or "made." Jennifer emphasizes that Arabic verbs often carry more meaning on their own, urging learners to adopt more precise language instead of defaulting to simpler expressions that they may use in their first language. Throughout the episode, listeners will gain practical examples in Levantine Arabic and tips for navigating these common challenges learners face with this dialect. This is the beginning of a series aimed at improving your language skills by becoming aware of common mistakes Arabic learners make—stay tuned for more episodes where we'll cover additional errors and provide further insights into effective communication in Levantine Arabic.

En Jordanie, les Frères musulmans célèbrent une victoire électorale majeure, remportant 31 sièges et devenant le plus grand bloc au Parlement. Leur succès, marqué par un soutien populaire croissant, rappelle leur ascension dans les années 1980, mais s'accompagne également de défis, notamment face à des partis pro-gouvernementaux.  De notre correspondant à Amman,Les Frères musulmans en Jordanie ont fait leur entrée au Parlement par la grande porte, en remportant 31 des 138 sièges, à la suite des élections législatives du 10 septembre. Grâce à cette victoire, ils constituent le plus grand bloc partisan de cette assemblée élue selon une nouvelle loi électorale qui a accordé une plus grande place aux partis politiques.Au sein du Parlement, les actions des Frères musulmans ne se limiteront pas à leurs propres membres. Ils seront rejoints par plusieurs députés alliés, comme ceux du Parti islamique du centre, qui partagent les mêmes convictions idéologiques et politiques sur des enjeux sociaux et économiques. C'est ce que souligne le député Mustafa Al-Amawi. « Nous et le Parti de l'action islamique sommes un seul parti, avec un projet national pour servir la Jordanie, indique le député, et nous combattons quiconque s'oppose à elle, même si nous avons des désaccords avec le gouvernement. »Cependant, il existe également un nombre significatif de députés qui s'opposent à la vision des Frères musulmans sur les questions internes et externes, notamment ceux du Parti de la Charte nationale, qui a remporté 22 sièges et qui est le plus proche des politiques pro-gouvernementales. Selon Mohammad Al-Momani, membre du Parlement : « Après ces élections, les partis surveilleront leurs performances respectives. Les Jordaniens rechercheront désormais des programmes qui traitent de leurs problèmes quotidiens plutôt que de grandes déclarations. »À lire aussi Législatives en Jordanie : « On pouvait s'attendre à une percée des islamistes, mais pas de cette ampleur »Le soutien au Hamas, l'une des raisons qui expliquent la victoire des Frères musulmansLa victoire des Frères musulmans s'explique par trois raisons principales, selon l'expert politique Yasser Qatishat : leur soutien à Hamas après les événements du 7 octobre, la présence de programmes réformistes populaires, et l'absence d'interventions sécuritaires, en particulier de la part des services de renseignement, lors des dernières élections.« Le pourcentage de voix obtenu par les Frères musulmans reflète un soutien populaire pour les islamistes, explique l'expert politique, surtout en raison de la guerre à Gaza, qui est associée au Hamas, un groupe avec lequel ils ont une forte solidarité populaire. »Le gouvernement jordanien craint un affrontement direct avec les membres du Parlement affiliés aux Frères musulmans sur plusieurs dossiers sensibles, notamment les accords de paix et les échanges économiques avec Israël, ainsi que le système éducatif et les programmes scolaires. À lire aussiJordanie: manifestations en hommage à Yahya Sinwar, le chef du Hamas tué par l'armée israélienne

Earlier this week, Iran retaliated against Israel for the killing of the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah, Ismael Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah respectively, by launching the largest ballistic missile barrage in history. It is still unclear what was hit and how much damage was inflicted, due to heavy Israeli military censorship. We do know that the Iron Dome did not intercept all of the missiles, and many did hit their intended target. We are so delighted to announce the newest addition to the Kalam team, Swedish-Iraqi freelance journalist, Nora Adin Fares, who joins us directly from Amman, and as always Sam Carlshamre from Stockholm.

*) Over 100 rockets fired from Lebanon into Israel; some hit Haifa The Israeli military said over 100 rockets have been fired into the country from Lebanon, with some landing near the northern city of Haifa. Israeli first responders say the early morning barrage wounded at least three people, damaged buildings and set cars on fire. Social media users shared images of interceptive missiles fired from northern Israel's air defence systems in response to the incoming threats, with explosions reported in the air. *) Israel raids Al Jazeera's bureau in Ramallah, orders closure Israeli forces raided Al Jazeera's West Bank office early Sunday, ordering it to shut down for 45 days. The move is part of Israel's wider crackdown on the broadcaster's coverage of Israel's brutal war in Gaza. Al Jazeera condemned the closure and is still broadcasting live from Amman, Jordan. *) Beijing's behaviour in South China Sea, Taiwan Strait 'aggressive': Biden US President Joe Biden said that China is "behaving aggressively" in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, using diplomacy to advance its interests. He made the remarks during the Quad Leaders Summit in Delaware. Biden added that President Xi Jinping is focusing on domestic economic challenges while seeking diplomatic space to further China's goals in the region. *) Curfew imposed across Sri Lanka amid vote counting in presidential polls Police have imposed a nationwide curfew in Sri Lanka after voting ended in the South Asian country's presidential election, with millions going to the polls throughout the day. The curfew has been imposed in "view of the safety of the public," police said after the election was held in a peaceful manner. People have been asked to stay home until 6 am local time as results of the presidential elections are expected in the coming hours. *) Istanbul Culture Road Festival to host Da Vinci, Picasso, Warhol artworks The Istanbul Culture Road Festival, running from September 28 to October 6 at the Ataturk Cultural Center, aims to boost Türkiye's cultural brand.
