AMMAN,
JORDAN -- On Saturday, 17 October, I interviewed Hamas leader Khaled
Meshaal on a range of subjects at his offices in Damascus, Syria.
The full interview is currently being edited and will be released first at Palestine Note and will then appear here at The Washington Note.
During the meeting I asked Meshaal to reconfirm news that I distributed on Friday - namely that, despite the start-and-stop, blurred comments coming out
about whether Hamas and Fatah would meet in Cairo for reconciliation
negotiations - Hamas was going to send a delegation.
Full stop, Mashal confirms this in the seven second video above.
In the coming days, the full interview will appear here at Palestine Note.

I didnt know mashaal speaks english!! he still comes across to me as a dishonest person. I dont know why clemons or palestinenote would interview someone like him. Where is abu mazen ? or fatah's voice? how come no one is interviewing them?

What's with Hamas and their contradictory messages? I'm so tired of it. They seriously need to hire a professional PR company to handle their public announcements:)
