Life
Jumaa, who came from a Kurdish family, began to study law at the University of Damascus after attending school in Al-Salt , which he graduated in 1947. He was then head of the Office for Press and Public Relations between 1948 and 1949 and head of the Political Department in the Foreign Ministry from 1949 to 1950, before he was State Secretary to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of the Interior between 1950 and 1954. He then served from 1954 to 1958 as Governor of the Amman Governorate and from 1958 to 1959 as State Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After he was ambassador to Iran between 1959 and 1962 and most recently to Syria , he held the post of ambassador to the USA from 1962 to 1965 . On his return he became head of the royal court on April 1, 1965.
As the successor to Hussein ibn Nasser , Dschumaa took over the office of Prime Minister on April 23, 1967. After the defeat of Jordan on the side of other Arab states against Israel in the Six Day War , he initially resigned on August 1, 1967, but carried on the official business until October 7, 1967 and was then replaced by Bahdschat at-Talhuni . Al-Talhouni thus formed the fourth government in 1967. From April 23 to August 1, 1967, Dschumaa also assumed the post of Defense Minister in his government.
On November 1, 1967, Dschumaa became a member of the Senate (Maǧlis al-Aʿyān) , the king-appointed upper house of the Jordanian Parliament ( Majlis al-Umma ) , and was a member of this until September 18, 1969. He then returned to the State Department as Ambassador on Special Disposal and was finally Ambassador to the United Kingdom between September 22, 1969 and November 15, 1970 .
