Qatar extends unprecedented invitation to Israeli FM
In what has been labeled by some a breakthrough in Middle East political relations, Qatar on Tuesday extended an invitation to Israels Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to visit the Arab nation for the first time. [...] Last year, relations between the two countries began to show signs of warming when the foreign minister at the time, Silvan Shalom, met with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jasam al-Thani, in New York at the United Nations headquarters. Qatar at the time revealed that it was contemplating establishing open diplomatic relations with Israel. Posted by: lotp 2006-10-24 |
