The Director of the Jordanian General Intelligence Department (GID) holds a pivotal position within Jordan's national security apparatus. Obtaining specific details about the role's responsibilities and powers may be challenging due to the secretive nature of intelligence agencies and limited public disclosure. However, information about the GID and its operations can sometimes be found in analyses and reports from organizations specializing in security and intelligence matters. These sources often provide insights into the role and significance of intelligence agency in Jordan.[1]

The Director of the GID is typically responsible for overseeing the intelligence activities of Jordan, both domestically and internationally.[2] The director is also tasked with counterintelligence efforts to protect Jordan's interests from external and internal threats. The director is appointed by the King of Jordan, and the position reports directly to the monarch. The appointment process and criteria for selecting the director may not be publicly disclosed, as it involves sensitive national security considerations.[2]

The GID is considered one of the most influential institutions in Jordan, with a significant role in shaping the country's security policies.[3] The director wields considerable power and influence within Jordan's security establishment. The GID often collaborates closely with foreign intelligence agencies, particularly those of Western countries like the United States and the United Kingdom.[4] The GID has played a crucial role in safeguarding Jordan's stability and security, particularly in the face of regional conflicts and terrorist threats. Past directors have been known for their discretion and effectiveness in managing intelligence operations.[5]
