At the invitation of H.E. Bishop Iyad Twal, the Council of Church Leaders in Jordan held a candlelight vigil in Amman on the evening of Saturday, 7 November 2026, in memory of Corporal Jawad Al-Salaita. He was killed while on duty protecting the security of the nation and the safety of its people. Church leaders and their representatives took part, along with members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The participants prayed that God would grant the martyr His mercy. They condemned this heinous terrorist act and stressed that targeting a member of the security forces is an attack on Jordan and all Jordanians. Those forces, together with the Public Security Directorate and all security agencies, stand as a strong barrier protecting the nation. The participants also affirmed that everyone stands united against terrorism and in safeguarding Jordan’s security and stability.

The participants offered their condolences to His Majesty King Abdullah II, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the martyr’s family, the people of Umm Al-Rasas and all Jordanians. They also remembered the martyrs of Humoud, honoring the sacrifices made by the nation’s martyrs.
