The pilot that was killed comes from a very powerful beduin klan, and the King must revenge the pilot. Otherwise the klan will seek other ways to revenge the pilot.
Jordan used to be a beduin state, but the beduins are now a minority, after receving so many refugees from Palestine, Syria and Iraq.
And the RF were strangers, so it is very difficult to please them all.
