Occupied Jerusalem: Jordan is hoping to finalise an agreements with Israel very soon to send Palestinian patients from Gaza Strip to Jordan for treatment, said Yihya Al Qaralah, Jordan's Ambassador and the Chairman of the Jordanian Representative Office of the Palestinian National Authority.

Talks between both sides are in progress to offer free treatment in Jordan for patients in Gaza Strip on the order of King Abdullah II of Jordan, Al Qaralah told Gulf News.
Qaralah's statement came after the first group of Palestinian patients was able to leave for Jordan earlier this month for the first time since the blockade on Gaza Strip was imposed.
