Various and multiple messages in all directions, sent by the visit of the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to Jordan, and the reception of King Abdullah II to him after tomorrow, Sunday.
Protocolically, the visit comes as an introduction to a more solid stage of relations between the two countries, but it came after a phase of pressure by the Gulf blockade countries on Jordan to take escalatory steps against Doha, but "the most likely Jordanian mind dealt with the crisis rationally, and what is required by its national interests," according to analysts.
Various messages
On this visit, the two sides are keen to send a set of important messages, in various regional, Gulf and international directions.
In Jordan, the Kingdom sent a message to neighboring countries to the effect that the Jordanian political decision in its dealings with Arab and foreign countries originates only from Jordanian reason and interests, and is not subject to financial aid or economic projects promised by the Kingdom and did not come for years.
As for Qatar, the visit sent a message to the Gulf blockade states stating that Doha has a distinct Arab and international standing, and it enjoys a permanent appreciation of respect, and its opinion is heard on Arab and regional issues, and any solutions to the Palestinian issue.
Estimated positions
The Speaker of the Jordanian National Assembly, Faisal Al-Fayez, told Al-Jazeera Net that the two countries' relations are strong, strong, and based on love and brotherhood, and "the relationship of His Majesty and His Highness Prince Theba."
He added that the visit brings a number of benefits that will benefit the two countries, the most important of which are Qatar's stances in support of the Kingdom in its political aspect, especially supporting the Jordanian position towards the American peace plan known as the "Deal of the Century".
Al-Doha's recent stance during the meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo, which supports Jordanian positions on the US peace plan, is respected and appreciated, and Al-Fayez continues his speech, "We look forward to a unified position from the Arab League to find a comprehensive and just solution to the Palestinian issue."
Al-Fayez hoped that reconciliation efforts between the Gulf brothers would be reconciled, because any differences between the Arab countries weaken their stances towards the challenges facing the Arab nation, as well as any unified Arab stance that would support Palestinian and Jordanian positions in front of the dangers facing the region.
Jordan had played a positive role in trying to find a formula for dialogue and solutions between Qatar and the Gulf blockade countries (Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and Bahrain) during his assumption of the presidency of the Arab Summit then, but the rejection of these countries for any solutions prevented the end of the crisis.
harmony
"The visit comes at an important time for the two countries, and it will strengthen and consolidate relations between the two brothers," says Qatari politician Jaber Al-Harami for Al-Jazeera Net, especially as the region is beset with successive and escalating crises, the last of which is the American peace plan and its direct impact on Jordan.
Al-Harami continued that the visit strengthens the Qatari-Jordanian relations in various political aspects, including economic, commercial, educational, military and security cooperation, and puts them in an advanced state of Arab cooperation.
On the political issue, Al-Harami believes that the Qatari and Jordanian positions "agree on their rejection of the deal of the century", especially as they constitute a promise of a new Balfour in the twentieth century, and engulf Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories, which impedes the establishment of an independent and viable Palestinian state.
Investments by the way
As for economically, Qatar provided Jordan with the necessary and necessary assistance when the Arab brothers turned their back on them, and this is not a favor or a favor from Doha, but it is a duty, and the Kingdom appreciates this position.
Al-Harami expected that Sheikh Tamim's visit would witness the announcement of a number of new investment projects to be added to the existing Qatari projects in Jordan in the fields of energy, tourism and investment in the financial market.
Doha understands the kingdom’s position and the Arab pressures it faces as a result of its refusal to be a party to the Gulf crisis.
The Qatari forms in Jordan recorded an increase during the past five years, until they reached about one billion dinars (1.4 billion dollars) distributed between the Amman Stock Exchange and the energy, tourism and real estate sectors.
The volume of trade exchange has witnessed a continuous increase since 2011 until now, and last year recorded an increase of 18% over its predecessor, reaching 262 million Jordanian dinars (370 million dollars).
The Qatari market witnessed the entry of about 175 new Jordanian companies during the first nine months of last year through partnerships and alliances with Qatari companies, and the number of joint companies operating in the Qatari market at the end of the third quarter of last year amounted to 1725 companies compared to 1550 companies by the end of 2018.
Positive visit
Mamdouh al-Abadi, the former Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister, told Al-Jazeera Net that the visit comes in a sensitive circumstance that the region is going through, after the US President announced his plan for peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
He described the visit as positive, and would strengthen Jordanian-Qatari relations, as a prelude to launching a joint Arab action to defend Arab issues, away from the contradictions and differences and the state of estrangement between Arab leaders.
He added that the visit strengthens the Jordanian, Palestinian and Arab rejection of the American peace plan, which hijacked the historical rights of the Palestinians by establishing their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital, and violated Jordanian rights to the Hashemite guardianship of Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and the rights of refugees to return and compensation.
And the meeting between the king and the prince considered the first coordinated Arab action to stand in the face of the Gulf, Arab and even Islamic trot to normalize relations with the Israeli occupation at this sensitive time.
The conclusion of the political messages of the visit of the Emir of Qatar indicates that the Arab region has a widespread rejection of the solutions imposed by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and that any solution to the Palestinian issue is carried out in concert between the parties, and granting rights to their Palestinian and Arab owners.
