Jordan s Prince Hamzah has pledged allegiance to King Abdullah II following mediation talks to resolve the family feud which saw the senior royal placed under house arrest after being accused of plotting a coup.
The talks, announced by the palace on Tuesday, successfully de-escalated one of the most serious political crises in the kingdom in decades.
Jordanian authorities had accused the former crown prince of being involved in a malicious plot, along with two senior Jordanian officials, leading to the king placing his half-brother under house arrest for allegedly conspiring with foreign supporters to destabilise Jordan, a key Western ally.
The half-brother of Jordan s King Abdullah II sent a message out late on Sunday
Jordan s deputy Prime Minster has accused the prince of being part of a coup
The message came after his aunt - Princess Firyal - slammed him and his mother
She tweeted telling him to grow up and of Queen Noor of blind ambition
Queen Noor called the coup claims as wicked slander against her son
Former finance minister Bassem Awadallah - a Saudi adviser - was also arrested
