News sources have claimed a former Mossad spy was involved in a recent failed coup in Jordan. On Sunday night, Islamabad time, news agencies claimed that a Mossad operative took part in the failed coup in Jordan.
Former Mossad agent Roi Shpushnik was allegedly involved in the attempted coup in Jordan, according to reports in Jordan cited by Maariv, the Jerusalem Post‘s sister publication.
According to the reports, the former Israeli agent offered former heir, Prince Hamza, a plane to escape with from the kingdom.
Earlier on Sunday, Jordan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ayman Safadi said that Prince Hamza had liaised with foreign parties over a plot to destabilize the country.
On Saturday the military said it had issued a warning to the prince over actions targeting “security and stability” in the key US ally. Prince Hamza later said he was under house arrest. Several high-profile figures were also detained.
