Hamas and Jordan Restoring Ties
[Ha'aretz ] Yoav Stern - Meetings between Jordanian and Hamas officials have opened the door to restoring relations that have been strained for two years, the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported Tuesday. Mohammed Nazzal, a member of Hamas' political bureau, met with Mohammed Dahabi, who heads Jordan's General Intelligence Department, in the last few days. The renewed ties with Hamas angered Fatah-affiliated Jordanian officials who oppose the move. Jordan and Hamas cut ties in 2006, when Jordanian security services captured a Hamas cell that smuggled a large quantity of weapons into Jordan.
