The Goals of the Revolt

From the moment the Great Arab Revolt began, the aim was to liberate the land and man, create an independent Arab state, restore Arab sovereignty, and revive authentic Arab nationalism.

The Arabs believed in these goals, worked to achieve them, and this was the essence of the aims of the Great Arab Revolt, and one of the strategic objectives achieved was:

.1The formation of the Arab government.

.2The formation of the first Arab Shura (consultancy) Council.

Highlighting and affirming the Arab right through the global presence. In addition to this is the tactical success that is represented as follows:

.1The Great Arab Revolt succeeded in entering and occupying Aqaba on July 6, 1917, which was a shift in the course of the Great Arab Revolt.

.2 On January 25, 1918, Turkish forces were defeated in a strong battle in Al-Tafila.

.3 The siege around Maan prevented the participation of large Turkish forces in World War I in the northern battlefield and Palestine.

.4 Helped moving towards Al-Azraq and planning for the occupation of Damascus and entering it on November 2, 1918; and the declaration of its first Arab state led by Prince Faisal bin Hussein, who proceeded in the complete constitutional steps of the declaration of the Syrian Arabia Kingdom, which took place on March 8th, 1920. The first Arab flag hoisted over Damascus for the first time in more than four centuries, in Al-Marja Square, where the Free Arabs were executed.

.5 The Great Arab Revolt is the set of strategic objectives concerning Arab identity, sovereignty, and Arab nationalism. And it is a set of correspondence that reaches the level of international treaties for the adoption of Arab rights and the clarification of the borders. And it is the set of laws, regulations, and instructions. And it is the administrative and organizational structure that shows the Arabs as a nation with an ancient civilization, experience, and institutional. And it is a group of victories and successes in the military field or in mobilizing Arabs and supporting the objectives of the revolt.

.6 The Arab Revolt is the message we carry in Jordan today. And we defend its principles because it is an authentic Arab Revolt led by a pure Hashemite who descends from the prophet’s household. The Jordanians and Arab people believed in Hashemites leadership, patriotism, and true Arabism because of the hope they constitute for the nation in general, and Jordanians in particular, so that Jordan will be first with the vision of “We are all Jordan" as a support for its Arab nation.
