It is my first meeting during my career with an Arab diplomatic body in Ukraine…
I love meetings with my heart when I met the ambassador of body and soul, of beloved Jordan, Palestine, to Ukraine, Hashem Al-Dajani.
So our conversation came wrapped in a blanket of love and intimacy, and as soon as this man uttered the name of Palestine, he followed him with its twin Jordan.
Yes, I saw the love and humility in his facial features as he spoke cordially and came back with us in his memory that he had reduced to his childhood… Memories that evoke his birth and upbringing in Amman.
How can he not, who is born and lover of Amman, how not, when he is the son of one of the symbols of the Jordanian media.
How not, and he combines the lungs of the Jordan River, Palestine and Jordan.
This was evident when he expressed his hopes to open a Jordanian embassy in Kiev to support its twinning, the Embassy of Palestine, as a soul for the body and as two brothers formed from one sperm that cannot be separated over the course of time, and to be the consolation for each other no matter how long it takes, they are united by the unity of blood, history, brotherhood and lineage.
It was a friendly conversation with Ambassador Hashem Al-Dajani, far from formalities and diplomatic protocols. The meeting was overshadowed by the friendly, and I felt myself talking to a friend I had known for ages..
And I saw in him a restless dynamo roaming the country, east, west, north, and south, seeking to serve his country and its first cause.
As we proceeded with the conversation, I began to discover distinct aspects of the personality of my interlocutor, who is sober, strong, honest, friendly and close to everyone.
I asked him about Palestine and its case is hope, pain is life, the pulse is the cry of a baby like the light that has risen in the darkness, it is a child that breastfeeds and a child that fights, it is the sun that will shine forever.
It is the case that we travel the world to win and it is the message that we do not hesitate to carry.
We talked for a long time and continued the dialogue to the Palestinian community in Ukraine.
To discover his eagerness to share their occasion, whether it is small or large…
وجدته أخًا وأبًا وصكًا ، ليس فقط لأبناء الجالية الحبيبة في فلسطين ، بل لكل من يتكلم لغة حرف “أبي” …
Yes, meeting you is a source of pride for me, for this is how diplomats are, and you bow their hats in respect, honour, and appreciation. You are truly an extraordinary ambassador.
