AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Air Defence & Regional Security: Jordan’s Royal Air Force intercepted and destroyed two drones targeting the Kingdom’s territory, with no casualties or material damage reported, as Israel also said it intercepted two drones near the border and is checking their launch origin. Diplomacy Watch: Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi met UN chief António Guterres in Amman, urging full adherence to the US-Iran ceasefire, resuming negotiations, and pushing for Gaza ceasefire implementation and humanitarian access. Gulf Tensions: Saudi Arabia warned it “reserves the right to respond” after drones targeting oil facilities were intercepted, while Yemen’s Houthis claimed their own drone attacks on Saudi oil-linked infrastructure. Local Governance & Services: Cabinet approved changes to unpaid leave rules for public employees, plus new social protection and welfare fund frameworks, and backed a $97m French financing contribution toward the National Water Carrier Project. Human Interest: Rice University police in Houston issued a BOLO alert for Jordanian athlete Rabe’e Ata Juma’a Alqaq, missing after arriving for the Genuine Cup. Culture & Tourism: Amman’s Awal Film festival opened with a tribute to late Palestinian actor Mohammad Bakri, and Jerash’s sound-and-light show is drawing crowds.
