Jordan’s Islamist party tops election overshadowed by anger over Gaza war
The Islamic Action Front (IAF), an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, on Wednesday topped the kingdom's parliamentary elections, tripling its representation in the House of Representatives amid growing frustration over the ongoing war in Gaza among Jordanians, half of whom are of Palestinian origin. But the IAF failed to clinch an outright majority, according to official results.
