BBC News - HARDtalk, Khaled Meshaal

Stephen Sackur speaks to the leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal.

HARDtalk meets Khaled Meshaal, the leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement, Hamas. Does Hamas have anything new to offer in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians?

HARDtalk travels to Doha to meet Khaled Meshaal, the leader of the Palestinian Islamist movement, Hamas. His base used to be Damascus but he broke ranks with the Assad regime after the repression of the Syrian uprising. Now he spends much of his time in the diplomatically ambitious Gulf state of Qatar - another sign that the realities of the Middle East are changing. But not, it seems, in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. On that front does Hamas have anything new to offer?
