A situation which was practically started with the halt to chasing of one of the movement's leaders Muhammad Nazzal.

The sources added that the Qatari minister held during his visit to Amman which lasted for two days separate talks which thought to have led to drawing a mechanism to settle the matter as a whole in preparation for the return back of the Hamas leaders Khaled Mashaal, Ibrahim Ghoushe and Izzat al-Rishq and not only to halt legal chasing of them.
