Hammad held interior ministry portfolio twice, the first in 1993-95 and the second in 1995-96.
King Abdullah II had accepted Majali's resignation he tendered due to security agencies' failure to coordinate over citizens' security and stability.
Directors of the Public Security and the Gendarmerie departments were also dismissed.
