Mishaal elected again to lead Hamas

The Shura Council of Hamas has re-elected Khaled Mishaal as head of the movement’s political bureau for another term, according to a Quds Press report.
Quds Press quoted “well informed sources within the Hamas movement” that the Shura Council of the movement met in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Monday morning and re-elected Mishaal for another term by acclamation.
The sources said that the majority of members of council insisted on Mishaal despite the fact that he insisted on being relived from the post for several months.
The sources said that the stage requires that Mishaal remains in office and that Mishaal will be the head of the political bureau for the next four years.
