Samara began his international career with the Jordan under-17 team to take part in 2020 AFC U-16 Championship qualification.[1]

On 16 February 2025, Samara received his first call-up to the Jordan under-23, in preparation for the 2025 WAFF U-23 Championship.[2] On 16 March 2025, he would receive the call-up for the tournament held in Oman.[3][4][5]

On 13 November 2025, Samara would receive a call-up from the under-23 squad to the Jordan national football team, after Nizar Al-Rashdan was exempted from the squad ahead of their friendly against Tunisia matchup due to a flu.[6][7]
