“I would like to announce that this new council has elected Abu al-Abed, my brother Ismail Haniya, as the president of the political bureau of the movement,” Meshaal said in a statement.
“The new leadership will announce any other names in the appropriate time. The movement blesses this election which came in a consultative, democratic way that is homogenous with the lists and that shows the unity of the movement.”
