It is the Jordanian regional branch of the Syrian-led Ba'ath Party.^[2] It was legally registered for the first time in 1993.

Dabbour's fiery statements on foreign policy are frequently quoted by the press.^{[citation needed]} The party is less known than its pro-Iraqi counterpart, the Jordanian Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party.^[3] Fuad Dabbour is the party's Regional Secretary.^[4]
