Sure, that was his son but I bet royalty in those days have tons of bastard children, should he really care about someone he did not personally raise or even know existed until recently. And arguably, he only wanted to kill Jafar because he was a deemed a threat to the crown prince. Let's not forget King George also tried to execute David, who was not only his adopted son but also did many heroic services for his kingdom (which is much more than what can be said of Jafar). Is King George to be considered less evil than the Sultan just because David is not his own flesh and blood?

Not saying what the Sultan did is to be condoned but compared to the stuff other characters on the show have done such as Regina and Cora wiping out an entire village and ripping out the hearts of who knows how many people, Rumplestiltskin creating a curse that devastated an entire kingdom etc., the Sultan seems kind of tame... I totally agree.
