Jordan's King Abdullah II said yesterday that his half-brother Prince Hamzah was “with his family, at his palace, in my care.”

The prince signed a document on Monday pledging his support for King Abdul- lah after he was accused at the weekend of working with foreign parties and other Jordanians in a plot to destabilise the country.

“Hamzah today is with his family, at his palace, in my care,” King Abdullah said in an address read out in his name on state television.

“Prince Hamzah pledged before the family to follow in the steps of the ancestors, remain loyal to their mission, and to put Jordan’s interest, Constitution, and laws above all considerations.”
