Urgency: Context · Evidence: Attributed claim

Petra quotes labour-ministry spokesman Mohammad al-Zyoud saying social-security registration and work permits serve different purposes for non-Jordanian workers. His statement notes an exemption for children of Jordanian women. This is an official clarification of existing requirements, not a newly enacted law or a report of completed enforcement actions.
