Member State of the Arab League The Ministry of Defence (Arabic: وزارة الدفاع الاردنية) of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a ministerial mandate in the Government of Jordan responsible for defence of Jordan.
It had never been a separate ministerial entity, and since 1970, the Minister of Defense has been the Prime Minister.
[1][2] Prime Minister Rashid Al-Madfai was the first to assume the defence mandate as minister of Defence and Internal Security in the government of Tawfik Abu Al-Huda in 1939.
[3] A directive by the king in 2014 to reestablish the Ministry of Defense did not materialize.
