Saudi Arabia stood behind Prince Hamzah, who was backed by original Jordanian tribes, in an attempted coup in Jordan in April 2021. The three sides collaborated, according to the source, to crown Hamza king instead of his brother Abdullah. The tactic in the value aspect and in the aspect of the king's image, was to spread rumors about King Abdullah in the economic field that would justify the move, and at the appropriate moment to take over the palace.
The rumors concerned value-based economic behavior, for which there is no evidence. King Abdullah discovered in time the attempt to conspire against him, and immediately after he had treated Prince Hamzah and placed him under house arrest, and apparently, he had also dealt with the rebel clans, he traveled urgently to Saudi Arabia, demanding guarantees for his rule. King Abdullah obliged his half-brother Hamzah to relinquish his royal titles, and to imprison himself in his palace under the supervision of the Jordanian security forces. In recent weeks, tipp has tried to find evidence of the economic rumor circulated against King Abdullah, but no such evidence has been found.
