Qatar to provide gas to Syria via Jordan

BEIRUT: Qatar is set to provide Syria with gas via Jordan to improve the nation’s meagre electricity supply and boost Syria’s new rulers, in a move that a US official said had Washington’s approval.
It would be the most significant tangible support for the new administration in Damascus by Qatar, one of the region’s sternest opponents of the now-deposed Bashar Assad and strongest backers of the rebels-turned rulers who replaced him.
