According to the Gatestone Institute:
Jordan’s King Abdullah has turned down a request from Hamas to re-open its offices in his country, according to informed sources in Amman.
The sources said that the Qataris offered hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Jordan in return for allowing Hamas to open offices in the kingdom.
“King Abdullah turned down the Qatari offer,” the sources said.
At one point, King Abdullah expressed his concern over the Islamists’ intentions when, in an interview with the Atlantic magazine, he described the Muslim Brotherhood as “wolves in sheep’s clothing” and a “Masonic cult always loyal to their leader.”
