SANAA, April 05 (YPA) – Jordan’s King Abdullah II has decided to handle the issue with former Crown Prince Prince Hamza within the family, and has entrusted the matter to his uncle, Prince Hassan, the Royal Court announced.

“In light of King Abdullah II’s decision to deal with the issue of Prince Hamza within the framework of the Hashemite family, His Majesty entrusted this path to his uncle, Prince Al Hassan,” the court said in a statement .

Prince Hassan is a former crown prince and brother of late King Hussein, father of King Abdullah and Prince Hamza.

The Royal Court said Prince Hassan had communicated with Prince Hamza, and “confirmed that he is committed to the approach of the Hashemite family, and the path that the King entrusted to Prince Hassan.”
Prince Hamza bin Al Hussein said in an earlier video that he was “under house arrest”, after being accused of plotting a coup against his brother and harming his country’s national security as “lies aimed at covering up the decline” in Jordan.
