Meshal

Israel, in its efforts to curb Hamas, could use Meshal’s presence as a pretext to intensify diplomatic and possibly economic measures against Qatar.

Thanking the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah for his gracious invitation, Modi stated that it was after 43 years that an Indian Prime Minister was visiting Kuwait to strengthen and solidify the age-old friendship.

The name most likely to replace him is Khaled Meshal, a senior Hamas leader based in Qatar.
