And a Peter Hansen, as we discovered (presumably the same guy as Hammad's father), has been involved in UN relief work for the Palestinians.

The press has reported the Hammad's father, Peter Hansen, as 56 years old. (of course he may have lied)

The UN Commissioner General Peter Hansen is 60 years old , according to his UN bio.

If the information on the ages is correct, I guess these are two different Peter Hansens that have both spent considerable time in Jordan and now live in NY. Small world, maybe.
