His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa yesterday affirmed Bahrain’s full support for all decisions and actions taken by His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein, the King of Jordan, to preserve the security and stability of Jordan.

“The ties between Bahrain and Jordan rest on brotherhood, belief and one destiny, and that their security is indivisible,” said HM the King. Earlier yesterday, in a statement published by Jordan New Agency Petra, Jordanian army chief Yusef Huneity rejected the allegations about an ongoing investigation.

“What has been published about allegations about the arrest of his highness Prince Hamza is not true but he was told to stop activities that are being exploited to target Jordan’s security and stability,” said Jordanian army chief Yusef Huneity.

The statement said the investigation was part of a broader, ongoing security investigation. Al-Huneiti said that investigations are continuing and will disclose the results with transparency and clarity. He said that the kingdom carried out “measures within the law and after extensive investigations” and that “no one is above the law.”
