Hamas Leader Visits Gaza For The First Time



Hamas Chief Meshaal Makes Historic Gaza Visit -- Al Jazeera

First visit to Palestinian land in 37 years seen as demonstration of new confidence after conflict with Israel.

The leader of Hamas has arrived in the Gaza Strip, ending 37 years of exile from the Palestinian Territories with a visit that underscored the armed group's growing confidence.

Khaled Meshaal said on his first-ever visit to the Gaza Strip on Friday that he hoped to become a "a martyr" in the Palestinian territory.

"I hope God will make me a martyr on the land of Palestine in Gaza," Meshaal said shortly after crossing from Egypt into Gaza via the southern Rafah crossing.
