Jordan’s king appoints reformist Cabinet member as new PM
State news agency says Jordan’s king has appointed cabinet member Omar Razzaz, a leading reformer, as new prime minister.
Prime Minister Hani Mulki resigned yesterday after several days of mass protests across Jordan against a planned tax increase, the latest in a series of economic reforms sought by the International Monetary Fund to get the rising public debt under control.
