Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday issued a royal decree approving the appointment of Foreign Ministry Secretary General Zeid al-Lozi as Saudi ambassador to Qatar, two years after the reduction of diplomatic representation between the two countries.
"The king approved the cabinet's decision to appoint Ambassador Zeid Mufleh Al-Lozi as the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Qatar," state television reported on its website.
He also pointed out that the government also approved the decision of the Government of the State of Qatar to nominate Sheikh Saud Bin Nasser Al Thani, to be the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Jordan.
In June 2017, Oman decided to reduce the level of diplomatic representation with Doha and to revoke the license of the Al Jazeera bureau in the country against the backdrop of the Gulf crisis.
For more than two years, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt have been severing ties with Qatar, claiming that the latter supports terrorism, which Doha denies, and accuses the Quartet of seeking to impose guardianship over its national decision.
It did not amount to a break between the two sides, but went beyond supporting Qatar, which is besieged by the Jordanian economy, by half a billion dollars and giving 10,000 jobs to Jordanian youth.
As the political winds and plans in the region intensify, the two countries' leaders have come closer, and there are military, security and economic understandings that take into account their common interests.
As was the Palestinian cause of convergence of positions and rapprochement of the Jordanian-Jordanian, the position of the two countries is the closest - as politicians say - to address the schemes of liquidation of the Palestinian cause.
