Hashemite monarchy

The Hashemite monarchy refers to the royal family that rules Jordan, with historical roots tracing back to the Prophet Muhammad. Established in the early 20th century, the monarchy emerged after World War I when the Hashemites were granted control over Jordan, then part of the Ottoman Empire. The current king, Abdullah II, represents the family's ongoing commitment to stability and modernization in Jordan. The monarchy plays a crucial role in the nation’s governance, balancing tradition with contemporary challenges, and maintaining a strategic position in Middle Eastern politics.
