“Hamas Says that Its Political Leader Does Not Plan to Seek Re-election”
The Palestinian militant Hamas announced Saturday that its political leader, Khaled Meshal, would not seek re-election, opening the door to the possible leadership contest and adding to the uncertainty enveloping Hamas at the a time of regional turmoil.
The announcement has set off abundant speculation about the future of a group already in flux. Fawzi Barhoum, a Hama spokesman in Gaza, said that Mr. Meshal’s wishes were not binding on the council which elects the politburo members regardless of their personal position.
The group’s leaders in Damascus have found themselves in an increasingly uncomfortable position since the outbreak of the Syrian uprising.
An analyst close to Hamas, speaking on the condition of anonymity, suggested that Mr. Meshal, who has Jordanian residency, might want to quit so that he could return to Jordan because the situation in Damascus had become unbearable.
Common Sense Review
Why is it I don’t see this terrorist group using democratic processes… I like the fact that no one can leave without the approval of the council.
However what kind of terrorist group leader is leaving due to unrest… They create unrest
