Khaled Mashal Biography

Khaled Mashal is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on May 28, 1956 in Silwad, Silwad, State of Palestine. Addressing tens of thousands of attendees of Hamas’s 25th anniversary in Gaza City’s Katiba Square, Mashal stated that armed resistance was the correct path for Palestinians to gain their rights and “liberate” Palestine. He reiterated his movement’s refusal to concede any part of historical Palestine, stating “Palestine from the river to the sea, from the north to the south, is our land and we will never give up one inch.” However, he also lent support to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ successful initiative for international recognition of the State of Palestine at the United Nations, adding his belief that diplomacy helped the Palestinian cause, but was needed in conjunction with “resistance.” At the conclusion of his visit Mashal stressed that Palestinian reconciliation was critical, stating that “Gaza and the West Bank are two dear parts of the greater Palestinian homeland.”

Mashal was a teacher in Kuwait from 1978 to 1984. In 1983, the Palestinian Islamic movement convened an internal, closed conference in an Arab state, which included delegates from the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Palestinian refugees from Arab states. It laid the foundation for the creation of Hamas. Mashal was part of the leadership of the project to build a Palestinian Islamic movement from its inception. After 1984, he devoted himself to the project on a full-time basis. Mashal lived in Kuwait until the 1991 Gulf War. When Ba’athist Iraq invaded Kuwait, he then moved to Jordan and began working directly with Hamas. He has been a member of Hamas’ Political Bureau since its inception and became its chairman in 1996.

After the founding of Hamas in 1987, Mashal was the leader of the Kuwaiti branch of the organization. He moved from Kuwait to Jordan in 1991. Following the expulsion of the Hamas leadership from Jordan in August 1999, Mashal lived in Qatar, before moving to the Syrian capital of Damascus in 2001. He returned to Qatar in 2012 as a result of the Syrian Civil War.

Immediately after the incident, Jordan’s King Hussein demanded that Netanyahu turn over the antidote for the poison, threatening to sever diplomatic relations and to try the detained Israeli agents. Netanyahu at first refused, and the incident quickly grew in political significance. With Israeli- Jordanian relations rapidly deteriorating, King Hussein threatened to void the historic 1994 peace between the two countries should Mashal die. U.S President Bill Clinton intervened and compelled Netanyahu to turn over the antidote.

His father moved the family to Kuwait afterwards for financial reasons, where he, like his half-brother Mufid, completed high school. Mashal joined the Muslim Brotherhood in 1971. He holds a bachelor of science degree in Physics from Kuwait University.
