King of Jordan appoints his half-brother "Prince Hashem" as his adviser

Jordan ·

The appointment follows years of tension within the royal family after the 2021 case that was widely known in the media as the "sedition" affair, which involved Prince Hamzah, crown prince from 1999 to 2004 before he was relieved of the post.

Jordan is a constitutional monarchy, and succession and royal appointments are closely watched matters within the Hashemite family and by the public. The 2021 case that Jordanian media called "sedition" drew wide attention.
