Jordan’s King Abdullah appointed Khaled al-Karaki, a former minister of education and deputy prime minister, as his new royal court chief, replacing Nasser Lozi, the state-run-Petra news agency reported today.
Karaki previously served as chief of the royal court under King Hussein of Jordan in the 1990s, father of the present monarch. It’s customary for the king to change the royal court chief whenever a new prime minister is appointed and a government is formed.
