Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani has made a secret visit to Israel despite the fact that Doha and Tel Aviv have no political relations, a video has revealed. 

Israeli Kadima leader Tzipi Livni welcomed the Emir and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad Bin Jasim bin Jaber al-Thani during the visit. 

The Qatari Emir and his delegation also met several high-ranking Israeli officials. 

Signing a new gas export contract and writing Qatari textbooks by Israeli experts were among topics discussed between Sheikh Hamad and Livni. 

Sheikh Hamad reportedly stressed the significance of political relations between the two sides. 

Livni informed Qatar of its important role in talks between Arabs and Israel. 

Qatar and Israel have common viewpoints regarding Iran's nuclear program. Doha has repeatedly supported Tel Aviv against Iran. Qatar would also be able to assist Israel in the event of a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.
