(5 Jun 2018) Jordan's King Abdullah II has appointed Cabinet member Omar Razzaz, a leading reformer and former senior World Bank official, as the country's new prime minister.
  
The royal court announced the appointment on Tuesday.
Razzaz served as education minister in the outgoing Mulki government.
The king has the final say on all policy issues, and it's not clear how much of a reform mandate Razzaz will receive.
  
Razzaz will replace Hani Mulki, who resigned Monday amid widening protests over the government's austerity measures, including a planned tax increase.
Despite Mulki's resignation, daily street protests continued, with organisers saying they would not quit until the tax bill has been scrapped.
