By early April, officials had placed Hamzah under house arrest and publicly accused the former heir and two close aides of plotting to unseat King Abdullah. Jordan’s defiance angered Kushner and Prince Mohammed, who had also been displeased with a similarly reluctant Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. The new regime (Prince Mohammed) wants a return on investment. After Awadallah was arrested on 3 April, the Saudi foreign minister, Faisal bin Farhan, flew to Amman to meet Jordanian officials. Saudi Arabia has said Farhan made no request of Jordan and had flown to Amman to express support for King Abdullah.
