Meshal losing control of Hamas?

Hamas political bureau head Khaled Meshal, is expected to keep his post after an internal vote by the organization's leadership later this month. Hamas leaders have decided to transfer some of Meshal's critical areas of authority to the leadership in the Gaza Strip, including control of the organization's budget and of its military wing. Meshal's sole control of Hamas' purse strings has effectively given him control over Iz al-Din al-Qassam, the Gaza-based military wing of Hamas.
