Faisal al-Fayez

Faisal al-Fayez was appointed Prime Minister of Jordan in October 2003 by King Abdullah II. His government focused on economic reforms and improving Jordan's relations with the United States, particularly in the context of the Iraq War.

Fayez resigned as Prime Minister in April 2005 after a series of political crises, including protests over fuel price hikes and allegations of corruption. His resignation was seen as a response to public pressure and a desire to restore stability.

Fayez was elected Speaker of the Jordanian House of Representatives in November 2010. As speaker, he oversaw parliamentary sessions and played a role in legislative processes, though his tenure was marked by limited political reforms.

During the Arab Spring protests in Jordan in 2011, Fayez was appointed to the National Dialogue Committee, tasked with proposing political reforms. The committee recommended constitutional changes, but many were not fully implemented.
