Gantz: Alleged Jordan coup plot is 'an internal matter' After round-up of suspected conspirators, Jordanian media warns of 'security and stability' red lines that cannot be crossed; mother of former crown prince slams claims he was involved in plans to overthrow king as 'wicked slander' Ynet, AFP | Published: 04.04.21 , 13:56 Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Sunday that Israel has no interest in becoming involved in an apparent foiled plot to overthrow Jordan's King Abdullah, calling it "an internal Jordanian matter." Gantz' comments came in the wake of a major Jordanian security sweep Saturday in which some 20 people were arrested and the king's half-brother Prince Hamzah telling the BBC he had been placed under house arrest. His claim was denied by the Jordanian military.
