Abstract
On Friday, December 7, 2012, Khalid Meshal, the leader of the political bureau of Hamas, crossed the Egyptian border at Rafah and entered Gaza. It was the first time he had set foot in the territory. In a speech to supporters, he described it as his third birth. His first, he said, was his natural birth in 1956; the second, his “rebirth” after surviving an Israeli assassination attempt in Jordan in 1997; his fourth, he hoped, would be the liberation of all Palestine.
