Thousands of Jordanians took to the streets across the country, including the capital Amman, following the Friday Prayers to demand the formation of a “national unity government” to replace that of Tarawneh.

They also called for the immediate transfer of the king’s constitutional authority to select prime ministers to the people.

“No to Fayez, no to anyone else, the people must choose their direction,” the protesters chanted.

The rallies were also sparked by Tarawneh’s decision to end a dialogue between the kingdom and the opposition led by his predecessor Awn Khasawneh, who stepped down on April 26.

Jordanians have held several anti-Tarawneh demonstrations over his pro-Israeli views since he was appointed by King Abdullah II two weeks ago.

Tarawneh, who headed the Jordanian team that negotiated a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, said last week that if given a second chance, he would still support the peace treaty.

He is Jordan’s fourth prime minister since anti-government protests demanding reforms and an end to corruption began in the country in January 2011.
