Hamas leaders – perhaps concerned about Israel's threat to come after them, and unwilling to follow their own exhortations to the people of Gaza to embrace martyrdom – are reportedly fleeing their lives of luxury in Qatar:
Several Hamas leaders recently left Qatar together with their entourages, cutting off communications including cellphones.
The leaders left for Algeria, Lebanon, Iran and other countries, according to sources cited by Kan News’s Arabic channel.
Among Hamas leaders living in Qatar are Ismail Haniyeh, head of the terrorist group's political bureau, Mousa Abu Marzook and Khaled Mashal….
The recent movement of Hamas leaders may be related to Israel’s promise to wipe out the terrorist group’s leadership wherever it is found. Ronen Bar, head of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), said on December 3 that Israel will eliminate the leaders of Hamas in Qatar and Turkey.
Following Bar’s comments, a Turkish intelligence official told Reuters that there would be "serious consequences" if Israel attempted to pursue senior Hamas officials "outside the Palestinian territories," whether in Turkey or elsewhere. The warning was delivered to Israel "following the statements of officials," according to the source.
As a result, al-Arouri may have felt safer in Turkey, contradicting his past statements that “we are never afraid to die as martyrs.”
Perhaps they're alarmed by the Israeli UN envoy giving out Hamas phone nos.
