Jordan’s King Abdullah II described the “pain and anger” he felt after his half-brother was accused of involvement in a plot to destabilize the kingdom, but said the threat had been squashed.
Former Crown Prince Hamza Bin Hussein remained “with his family in his palace under my protection,” the monarch said, following reports that his sibling was placed under a form of house arrest at the weekend. The “strife has been buried,” he said.
