Fawzi El-Mulki (1910–1962) (Arabic: فوزي الملقي) was a Jordanian diplomat and politician. While serving as ambassador to the United Kingdom in the early 1950s, he befriended King Hussein, who was studying there.
In 1953 Hussein appointed al-Mulki to be the 10th Prime Minister of Jordan. He was dismissed in 1954 after his liberal policies caused riots throughout the country.
Born in 1910 in Irbid, Mulki belonged to a family that originated in Hama, Syria.[1][2]
