Cabinet endorses bylaw for road accident compensation

AMMAN — The Cabinet on Sunday endorsed the 2023 bylaw governing the compensation of individuals affected by road accidents from vehicles that lack compulsory insurance.

Also, the Cabinet decided to extend its decision  setting Jerusalemites’ passport issuance and renewal fees at JD50 for five years. The decision follows Royal directives to provide support for Jerusalemites and their steadfastness as part of the Hashemite Custodianship over Islamic and Christian holy sites in the holy city.
