Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal this week called for Palestinians to end the Israeli settlement and occupation by forming a united field command to ensure the success of the intifada in the West Bank and Jerusalem.

In his first official appearance since Sept. 7, the head of Hamas’ political bureau participated in a Nov. 4 Skype interview organized by the Press House in Gaza — a nongovernmental organization — with a couple of Palestinian authors and media, including Al-Monitor. He outlined factors that he said had deluded Israel into thinking the time was right to divide Al-Aqsa Mosque between Muslims and Jews.
