AMMAN — The Ministry of Interior on Sunday dismissed as baseless reports carried by some media outlets that Interior Minister Hussein Majali granted three (five-year) temporary passports for Syrians.

A ministry statement said only the Cabinet has the authority to issue temporary passports, while the interior minister’s role is limited to making recommendations in this regard to the Council of Ministers.
