Jordan's King Abdullah II on Sunday ordered Prime Minister, Fayez Tarawneh, to freeze the government's decision to raise fuel prices as of Sunday. According to Jordan Petra news agency , the king moved to suspend a government decision, made on Saturday, to raise fuel prices by 10 per cent - a measure that sparked nationwide anti-government protests. The decision came as Jordanian lawmakers called on the king to oust Prime Minister Fayez Tarawneh for imposing the price rise, threatening to follow through on a vote of no confidence in the premier.
