Jordan on Tuesday quickly dispelled the idea that Hamas leaders would be welcome to set up their offices on their territory after a senior Hamas official suggested the terror group’s political bureau would move to the kingdom if it was forced to leave its current home in Qatar. ...

The report said the Jordanian government dispatched veteran diplomat Ziad Majali to quickly pour cold water on the idea.

“Hamas behaves as if there’s no state and no authority in Jordan that will decide and determine how to act and how to conduct itself,” Majali was quoted as saying. “Jordan has closed the book on Palestinian cells — and we do not intend to reopen it.”
