Mashal’s visit to Jordan is unusual, but also last year the head of the Hamas leadership abroad, Khaled Mashal, came to the Jordanian capital to participate in the funeral of one of the senior leaders of the organization who died, Ibrahim Rusha. With him came Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas in Gaza. The two received official approval from Jordan. in order to come to the funeral since Hamas activity is prohibited in Jordanian territory. Mashal, who survived an assassination attempt by the Mossad in Jordan in 1997, was in Jordan for the last time before the funeral only in 2012 to visit his mother who was sick at the time. As mentioned at the end of the week, Mashal came to Jordan again with the permission of the Kingdom .
