The Palestinian premier, who arrived in Doha on Monday evening, discussed with the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, on Tuesday Palestinian developments especially the national reconciliation and Judaization threats in occupied Jerusalem in addition to the Arab spring.

Meanwhile, Quds Press quoted unidentified sources as saying that a senior delegation of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has asked Mishaal to reverse his decision not to nominate himself for chairmanship of the political bureau.
They said that Mishaal met with the delegation led by commander Ahmed Al-Ja’bari last month and that the delegates refused his decision.
