Abdul Ilah al-Chatib ( Arabic عبد الإله الخطيب Abdulilah al-Chatib , DMG ʿAbdu l-Ilāh al-Ḫaṭīb , also al-Khatib; * 1953 ) is a former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Jordan .

Al-Chatib received a Masters in International Economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, a Masters in International Communications from American University in Washington DC, and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science from the School of Political Science in Athens , Greece.

In 1995 al-Khatib became Minister of Tourism and Antiquities. The following year he resigned to become General Manager of the Jordan Cement Factories Company ; he held this post until 1998, after which he was appointed Foreign Minister and remained in that position for four years.

During the civil war in Libya in 2011 , he was appointed special envoy for Libya by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon . Al-Khatib was supposed to lead a mission to investigate the human rights situation in the country marked by fighting between opponents of the regime and supporters of Gaddafi . In July 2011 he proposed a presidential council to reach a ceasefire. This presidential council should have been made up of two representatives from the east and two from the west of the then two-part country. The holder of the fifth seat should have been chosen by the four others. Al-Khatib's proposal was rejected by the National Transitional Council.

He is married and has three children.
