Hani al-Mulki

Hani al-Mulki was appointed Prime Minister by King Abdullah II in May 2016. His government was tasked with continuing economic reforms and addressing the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis.

Al-Mulki's government proposed a new income tax law in 2018, sparking widespread protests across Jordan. Demonstrators opposed the tax increases and austerity measures, leading to the largest protests since the Arab Spring.

Al-Mulki resigned in June 2018 after the tax protests escalated. His resignation was accepted by King Abdullah II, who appointed Omar Razzaz as his successor to address the crisis.
