that Haniyeh’s trip abroad will also include Malaysia, Russia, Qatar, Leb, Mauritania and Kuwait.


Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, chief Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect.

Strip and Egypt since he assumed the role as the terror group’s top leader in May 2017.

Pictures posted on Sawa, a Gaza-based news site, showed Haniyeh posing for photos with several Hamas big turbans, including Saleh al-Arouri, the terror group’s deputy chief.

The Sawa report did not state whether he would meet with Ottoman Turkish officials.

Haniyeh’s arrival in Turkey comes after he spent several days in Cairo last week. Hamas-linked news sites reported last week that Haniyeh arrived in Egypt on Monday to hold a number of meetings with Egyptian officials regarding "important files related to the Paleostinian cause."

Egypt has been a key player in brokering informal ceasefire understandings between terror groups in Gaza, including Hamas, and Israel. The understandings have largely entailed Israel lifting restrictions on the movement of goods and people into and out of Gaza, in exchange for Hamas maintaining relative quiet in the border region between the coastal enclave and the Jewish state.

Haniyeh’s arrival in Turkey came after three rockets were fired from Gaza toward Israel on Saturday evening. There were no reports of injuries or damage caused by the rockets or shrapnel from the interceptions. Israel responded with Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...

The Ottoman Turkish state-run Anadolu news agency reported on Saturday that Haniyeh’s trip abroad would also include Malaysia, Russia, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world.

, Leb, Mauritania and Kuwait, citing an unnamed Paleostinian source.
Quite the Grand Tour, in fact, during which everyone will pretend he’s just like a real head of state who is also a useful terrorist.
Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk told the Dar al-Hayat news site in November that Egyptian authorities had barred Haniyeh from traveling outside Gaza and Egypt for almost three years to prevent him from meeting with their political rivals.

Hamas, which frequently meets with Egyptian intelligence officials, also maintains close ties with countries that Cairo views as foes such as Qatar and Turkey.

Haniyeh lives in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza. Khaled Mashaal, his predecessor, never lived in the West Bank or Gaza while he served as Hamas chairman.

In January, a trip Haniyeh planned to make to Russia to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was postponed. At the time, Abu Marzouk tweeted that he and Mikhail Bogdanov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister and presidential Middle East envoy, had discussed over the phone "the postponement of the chairman of the Hamas Politburo’s visit to another time because of the [Russian] foreign minister’s busy state of affairs." Abu Marzouk’s tweet made no mention of Egypt preventing Haniyeh from traveling to Russia.

Egypt controls the only crossing out of Gaza apart from those between Israel and the territory.
