Yes, it's pronounced with a G sound, as in great. As far as I know (I'm from Lebanon, exposed to many Arabic dialects, but I could have missed some), someone would only pronounce it with a J sound to make it sound funny using a literal pronunciation. It's a common joke to pronounce foreign words written in Arabic literally. They sound funny to us that way :-)

In this case it is just pronounced as a "g" because its the name of a country, like a proper noun. In most other words, the "ج" is pronounced as a "j"

I can't even make out the word for England in this recording. Update: I have no problem making out the word now. Either the recording has be updated or my ability to hear the sounds has improved.
