Jordan King Accepts Prime Minister's Resignation
News summary

Jordan's King Abdullah II has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Bisher Al-Khasawneh following recent parliamentary elections, where the Islamic Action Front, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, made significant gains by winning 31 out of 138 seats, its largest representation since 1989. Al-Khasawneh, who served as prime minister for 1,437 days, will transition to a caretaker role until his successor, Jafar Hassan, is appointed. The elections saw a voter turnout of 32 percent and were influenced by public frustration over the ongoing conflict in Gaza and economic challenges facing the nation. King Abdullah praised Al-Khasawneh's administration for navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and introducing modernization efforts, despite the economic downturn. Hassan's new government will need to address the fallout from the Gaza war and its impact on Jordan's economy, which has already been struggling. Political tensions have escalated in Jordan amid protests against its peace treaty with Israel, highlighting the complexities of navigating regional conflicts.
