AMMAN — The government is examining the best method to allow Hamas members to reside with their families in Jordan, according to Prime Minister Awn Khasawneh.

In an interview with Time magazine, excerpts of which were published on Monday, Khasawneh said Hamas members will not be allowed to establish political headquarters for the movement in Jordan or to practise any political activity.

"We will be finding modalities to bring back members of Hamas and their families to come," Khasawneh told Time.

"We don’t want them to establish another organisation here."
