Khaled Mashal (Arabic: خالد مشعل Khālid Mashʿal, Levantine Arabic: [xaːled meʃʕal], born 28 May 1956) is a Palestinian political leader and the leader of the Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas since the Israeli assassination of Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi in 2004.
After the founding of Hamas in 1987, Mashal came to lead the Kuwaiti branch of the organization. He moved from Kuwait to Jordan in 1991. Since the expulsion of the Hamas leadership from Jordan in August 1999, Mashal lived in Qatar before moving to the Syrian capital of Damascus in 2001. He returned to Qatar in 2012 as a result of the Syrian civil war.
Mashal was born in 1956 in Silwad in the West Bank during the Jordanian occupation. He attended Silwad Elementary School until the 1967 Six-Day War. His father moved the family to Kuwait afterwards for financial reasons. Mashal joined the Muslim Brotherhood in 1971. He holds a bachelor of science degree in Physics from Kuwait University.
While at Kuwait University, Mashal headed the Islamic Justice (qa’imat al-haq al-islamiyya) list in the General Union of Palestinian Students (GUPS) elections in 1977.

Hamas leader Khaled Meshal discusses the Hamas relationship with Islam, Christianity and Judaism. I doing so he quotes the same Koranic verse cited by Barack Obama in his Cairo speech to the Muslim world.
Khaled Meshal will step down as Hamas chief following an upcoming election to determine the group's new political leader. Meshal will be letting other Hamas leaders run for the leadership of the organization's political bureau, and steer the movement's policy, after he retires, in the next few months. Meshal was elected head of Hamas's political bureau in 1997. Shortly after his assent to Hamas leadership, Meshal was the target of a botched assassination attempt by agents from Israel's Mossad espionage agency operating covertly in Jordan.

Según un polémico artículo publicado el día martes por un analista del grupo terrorista Hamas, Khaled Meshal renunciará como jefe del grupo armado tras las próximas elecciones que determinarán quién será su nuevo líder político. En su artículo, ampliamente citado en el mundo árabe, Mustafa Lidawi informó que Meshal dejará que otros líderes de Hamas se postulen a la dirección política del movimiento, tras su retiro en los próximos meses luego de 15 años de mandato. Cabe señalar que poco después de su nombramiento como líder de Hamas, Meshal fue blanco de un intento de asesinato fallido por parte de agentes del Mossad que operan secretamente en Jordania.
