With the Jordan under-23s, Al-Naimat won the 2021 WAFF U-23 Championship. He scored two goals during the tournament, including a goal in the final and was therefore named as the Best player of the tournament.

Al-Naimat debuted for the Jordan national team in a 2–0 friendly win over Tajikistan on 1 February 2021. Later in the year, he participated in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup. Al-Naimat scored two goals in the group stage to help Jordan finish as group runners-up. In the quarter-final game, Al-Naimat scored one more goal but his team were defeated 3–1 by Egypt. Afterwards, he was given the Bronze Boot award.

In January 2024, Al-Naimat took part in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup with Jordan. In the group stage, he scored once in the 2–2 game against South Korea as his team advanced to the next stage. In the round of 16 game against Iraq, he intercepted a pass from the opponent in the 45th minute and raced past the defence before opening the score with a chip shot. The match later ended in a 3–2 win for Jordan. In the semi-finals against South Korea, Al-Naimat helped Jordan take the lead with a goal in the 53rd minute, scoring for the second time against the Taegeuk Warriors in the tournament. Following Musa Al-Taamari's goal in the 66th minute, Jordan won 2–0 and reached the AFC Asian Cup final for the first time in their history. In the final match against Qatar, he scored a goal which equaled the encounter at 1–1, before it ended in a 3–1 defeat.
