Who is Khaled Meshaal, tipped to be next Hamas chief ?

Khaled Meshaal is expected to lead Hamas after Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination. Meshaal, known for surviving a 1997 Israeli assassination attempt, has lived in exile promoting Hamas internationally. At 68, he faces the challenge of balancing Hamas’ militant goals with a pragmatic approach for Palestinian statehood. His previous stance on Syria complicates relations with Iran.
