The former crown prince of Jordan has pledged allegiance to King Abdullah, two days after he said he was placed under house arrest and accused of trying to destabilise the country.
Prince Hamzah bin Hussein, 41, issued a statement hours after mediation saying he was committed to the constitution.
Officials said the king had asked his uncle, Prince Hassan, to help resolve the unprecedented tensions.
The former heir to the throne denies the allegations of conspiracy.
In a signed letter released by the palace on Monday, Prince Hamzah said: I place myself in the hands of his majesty the king. I will remain committed to the constitution of the dear Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
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.
