Doha: The Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani received a written message from Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas pertaining to the latest developments in the Palestinian arena and the possibility of the US administration to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel or the transfer of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. 

Ambassador of Palestine to Qatar Munir Abdullah Ghannam delivered the message during a meeting with the Emir at Al Bahr Palace earlier Tuesday.

During the meeting, the Emir affirmed Qatar's firm stance towards the Palestinian issue in general and Jerusalem in particular because of its religious and political importance to Arabs, Muslims and the whole world.
