Qatari foreign minister in Amman

Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jasem Bin Jaber al-Thani arrived in Amman on Tuesday carrying a message from the ruler of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khaleifa al-Thani, to King Abdullah Bin Hussein.

The Qatari satellite television station said that the "unannounced" visit of the Qatari minister to Amman aims at "bringing viewpoints closer between the Jordanian government and the Hamas leaders."

When a Jordanian official was asked about this matter, he said, "It is not expected to have the content of the message connected to the leaders of Hamas."
