Whilst the move to ban the Muslim Brotherhood is surely an attempt to placate the Trump administration, this decision may have significant domestic and regional repercussions, Hearst explains, noting that King Abdullah has now crossed a line that his father, King Hussein, was careful not to transgress in 47 years of rule. Hearst argues that King Abdullah should be careful not to follow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s footsteps down the plughole of history, concluding that should beware of Abbas’s fate, for history will not treat him or the Hashemite kingdom kindly.
