Palestinian Hamas to hold emergency meeting in Khartoum

The Palestinian Hamas opposition movement is due to hold its meeting in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, within the coming period.

Official sources in Hamas made press statements that it was decided during this meeting to take a decision to expand the Shoura council of the movement from 18 to 88 members, to achieve a balance between the leadership in the Palestinian territories in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the other leaderships in Arab and foreign capitals, at the time when Khaled Mishal continues to be the leader of the political bureau of the movement.

During the meeting they are going to discuss the movement's coming steps in light of the decision to restrain Hamas' movement in Jordan, in addition to the current situation of the Palestinian issue and the relation with the Palestinian national authority and the current dialogue between Palestinian factions.
