Nearly 20 people have been detained after allegedly conspiring with King Abdullah II. The Washington Post Saturday reported. Jordanian officials have denied that former Crown Prince Hamzah bin Hussein was arrested after being detained at his Amman Palace. Officials called the actions of those arrested a “threat to the country’s stability, according to the places.

Awadallah, who was a driving force behind economic reforms before resigning as head of the royal court in 2008, received long-standing resistance from an old guard a entrenched bureaucracy that flourished for years under government benefits. Jordan’s powerful intelligence agency, which has a major influence on public life, has played a greater public role since the imposition of emergency laws at the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year, which civilians say violates civil and political rights .
