Hamas Seeking New Home for Its Syrian Headquarters
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Senior Hamas officials recently asked Egypt and Jordan to allow the organization's headquarters to relocate to its territory. The queries were made due to Hamas' assessment that Syria, where both Hamas and Islamic Jihad headquarters are located, may force both organizations to leave in an effort to divert growing international pressure. Both Egypt and Jordan apparently refused. Hamas' political leadership has been headquartered in Damascus for years; the offices also house operations officers who deliver instructions and money to Hamas operatives in the territories.
