Jordanian Prime Minister Hani Mulki today submitted his resignation to King Abdullah II. 

An official source said his resignation was submitted in a meeting with the King. It comes amid mass protests over price hikes and adoption of a draft income tax reform bill based on recommendations by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). 

Protests have



been taking place across Amman and other towns for the last four days calling for the removal of Mulki. His government had proposed raising the income tax on employees by at least five percent and on companies by between 20 and 40 percent. 

According to official sources, Omar al-Razza, the current education minister, will replace Mulki.
