When talking about Hussein Hazza al-Majali, the military and security personality jumps to mind, as he is her body throughout his career over decades, whether in the armed forces or public security, but now the matter is different, after the man went to write in politics and public affairs.

In writing, the 61-year-old Majali’s association with the thinker Muhammad Abu Rumman, who is the former Minister of Culture and expert in the affairs of Islamic groups, emerged, as they together issue papers discussing important issues, within the Institute of Politics and Society, in a bilateral combination that gives the content presented weight and importance. They return to the status of the two men and their intellectual level.

Al-Majali certainly does not seek, through this, to get rid of his military and security legacy, but rather looks at him with pride and vigor, but in return he is working to present and consolidate himself as a “statesman” with a civil-political character, and perhaps his writings reinforce his striving towards it, with reference here To the man’s ambition to be prime minister, which may actually happen in the future, as he is seen by his disciples, one of the respected personalities of Jordanians, and his name has never been included in the corruption system, and he has an efficiency no less than those who held the position before.

Returning to the security personality of Al-Majali, he, as he is known, has a professional vision in managing the security scene, which was evident during the protests that the Kingdom witnessed at the height of the Arab Spring in 2011. , has maintained the position and respect of the security man among the Jordanians, despite the heated and intertwined events, and despite the abuses that occurred in dealing, which scratched part of the image of security and was not an approach.

It is known that Al-Majali’s name is associated with the term “soft security”, which he devoted during his tenure in the Public Security Department from 2010 to 2013, before jumping to the chair of the Ministry of Interior during the era of Abdullah Ensour’s government until 2015, after which he was asked to resign against the backdrop of a security campaign in the governorate. Maan, it was said that al-Majali favored the use of excessive force, and his tenure was full of disputes with the Director of Public Security at the time, Tawfiq al-Tawalbeh, and the director of the gendarmerie Ahmed al-Suwailimeen, which also accelerated the matter of resignation and referring the other two men to retirement, and here it should be noted that All three later moved to the Senate as members.

Al-Majali looks at his membership in the Senate, as a stage that will end sooner or later, to move “as he aspires” to the chair of the fourth circle, or to the first row in the decision-making kitchen near the king, and he is the son of the martyr Hazza Al-Majali who formed two governments. It lasted only 6 days, then he was appointed Minister of the Royal Court in 1958 and formed his second government in 1959, but on the morning of Monday, August 29, 1960, several explosive devices and bombs exploded in front of the Prime Ministry building, killing him at the age of 43.
