On July 20, 1951, King Abdullah of Jordan was shot today in Jerusalem as he walked into the Omagh Mosque. The murderer was killed by the king's guards on the spot. He belonged to an Arab organization known as the "Sanctuary of Struggle" and was linked to the "Arab High Council". He had long opposed the king.

They highlighted the feeling that the king had betrayed them in the recent conflict in Palestine. Because the king ordered his troops to move to the coast and ordered his troops to storm the old city of Jerusalem in order to annex a part of Palestine to the Kingdom of Jordan. The capricious king clearly acted according to a dream. In the dream his father commanded him to take over the city of Jerusalem. His position will eventually be inherited by Prince Thaliar. Thaliar is still being treated in Switzerland for a nervous breakdown. The only other heir is his 16-year-old son Hussein.
