25:32Now PlayingIn a striking shift in Jordan's political landscape, the Islamist opposition party, the Islamic Action Front (IAF), secured 31 out of 138 parliamentary seats in the recent elections, marking a fivefold increase in representation. Fueled by growing anger over Israel’s military actions in Gaza, the IAF—known for its staunch support of Hamas and far-right Islamist views—capitalized on reforms aimed at democratizing the kingdom. However, the IAF still faces an uphill battle against entrenched tribal and pro-government factions that dominate Jordan’s parliament. While the party’s hardline positions and platform support for Hamas resonate with a significant portion of the population, particularly on issues like Israel and societal conservatism, experts suggest the IAF’s real power may remain limited. King Abdullah II retains control over major political decisions, including the appointment of the prime minister and cabinet, making the IAF's gains largely more influential in the civic and social space in the context of the kingdom's overall political structure.
