His Majesty King Hussein Bin Talal, may God have mercy on him, focused on building an economic, industrial and knowledge infrastructure, and was a pioneer of the educational renaissance in Jordan, which culminated in the Royal Decree of September 2, 1962, Jordan), which paved the way for educational renaissance in the following decades. His Majesty has struggled through his years of rule to establish peace in the Middle East and defended Palestine: the land, the cause and the people. He has carried the issue to all international platforms, affirming its justice and guaranteeing the rights of its people, and striving for it in time of war and in peacetime, . King Hussein's thinking and approach to governance turned into a political school for the Jordanian state led by King Abdullah II Ibn al-Hussein, with his vision to transfer Jordan to the ranks of the developed countries, which is a continuation of the approach of King Hussein al-Albani.
