Summary
Rumors have been circulating that the Hamas politburo, led by Khaled Meshaal, might be moving its headquarters from the Syrian capital. Qatar has offered to host the politburo if Hamas' military leadership returns to Gaza. Though tensions have increased between Hamas and Damascus, Syria is not likely to want to part with Hamas any time soon. Furthermore, though there does seem to be some substance to the relocation talks in the current geopolitical environment, there are not yet any indications that Hamas will relocate in the near future.
