AMMAN – Ministers in the Jordanian government submitted their resignation to Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh on Wednesday to pave the way for a cabinet reshuffle, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
The upcoming cabinet reshuffle will be the fifth under the Khasawneh government. In October 2020, a Royal Decree was issued approving the appointment of Khasawneh as prime minister and minister of defense.
According to local media reports, the reshuffle is expected to include 5 to 10 ministerial portfolios.
