Al Jazeera
Prince Hamzah is a popular figure in Jordan and is seen as religious and modest, in touch with the common people.
The fate of the former crown prince of Jordan, Hamzah bin Al Hussein, is unclear. Reports suggest he is currently under house arrest. A Jordanian military official, however, said Prince Hamzah, 41, was only ordered to halt activities “aimed at undermining the security and stability of Jordan”. Jordan’s ruling family traces its lineage back to Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Prince Hamzah was born on March 29, 1980, in the capital Amman. He is the half-brother of King Abdullah II.More Related News
