Report: Mashaal leaves Damascus for Sudan

Palestinian sources told a Kuwaiti newspaper Tuesday that Hamas politburo chief Khaled Mashaal has left Damascus in favor of Sudan, after an agreement to that effect was reached between the Syrian authorities and Mashaal himself.

According to the report, it is possible Mashaal left Syria in light of the recent indirect peace talks between Israel and Syria. The report was not corroborated by any other source. (Roee Nahmias)
