The Islamic Action Front (IAF; Arabic: جبهة العمل الإسلامي, romanized: Jabhat al-'Amal al-Islami) is an Islamist political party in Jordan.
[1] The IAF's support base is composed largely of Jordanians of Palestinian descent, and represents one of the major opposition movements in the country.
In 1997, three years after Jordan's peace accord with Israel, IAF boycotted Parliamentary elections, citing manipulation by the government.
"[7] [check quotation syntax] In 2015, the IAF was split between reformists and nonreformists, resulting in the party terminating the membership of seven members: Abdul Majeed Thneibat, Qassem Taamneh, Mamdouh Muheisen, Khalil Askar, Ali Tarawneh, Jaber Abul Hija and Mohammad Qaramseh.
[11] Ibrahim Zeid Keilani, a former Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, served for a long time as the head of the Sharia Ulema Committee of the party.
