King Abdullah has placed his brother Prince Hamza under house arrest and since then there has been growing concern in Jordan about his fate.
The King of Jordan fears the undermining the stability of his rule. The Biden administration, which is supposed to take care of human rights, remains silent.
In Jordan, there is growing concern about the fate of Prince Hamza, the half-brother of King Abdullah of Jordan, who since April 11 has completely disappeared from the public eye in the Hashemite Kingdom, according to Jordanian officials.
His mother, Queen Nur, the wife of King Hussein bin Talal, who signed the peace agreement with Israel in 1994, posted a tweet a few days ago on her Twitter account on the occasion of the birthday of her granddaughter, Little Princess Zane, daughter of Prince Hamza, in which she wished her son would be released as soon as possible so he can raise his daughter and family proudly.
Queen Nur's tweet evoked a wave of sympathy in Jordan, Prince Hamza is very popular on the Jordanian street, especially among the Bedouin tribes, far more so than his brother King Abdullah.
King Abdullah and his wife Queen Rania have recently suffered a severe image blow following the global publication of "Pandora's Documents" which exposed the financial corruption of King Abdullah and his family and the huge real estate purchases he made in the US and UK while Jordanians are struggling with a severe economic crisis.
The Biden administration is known to have lifted the torch of human rights in the world, but as far as PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas or King Abdullah of Jordan, two of his favorites, are concerned, he remains silent. According to US sources, Abdullah is President Biden's favorite Middle Eastern leader and he was also the first leader to visit the White House when the president took office.
