Their comments came after the Jordanian monarch, in a meeting with tribal leaders in his country, pledged to support tribes in areas of Syria and Iraq where the jihadis are operating.
"It is our duty as a nation to support the tribes in eastern Syria and western Iraq," the king was quoted as saying by Jordanian official media during the meeting on Sunday.

"The Syrian tribes firmly and definitively reject any call or project to deprive them of their national, Syrian, Arab essence," said Sheikh Mohammad Fares al-Abd al-Rahman of the Tay tribe.
Speaking underneath a photo of Assad at a Damascus presser, he expressed "surprise" at King Abdullah's comments.
The king, he said, "is well aware of who is behind the Death Eaters and where their operations rooms and military training camps are located, where their funding and weapons come from, and how they enter our country from Jordan."
