The former leader of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal, called for Muslims across the globe to head to the squares and streets this Friday and protest in support of Palestinians and for neighboring countries to join the battle against Israel. In a recorded statement sent to Reuters, Meshaal is heard saying, ' head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday.' Meshaal is currently based in Qatar and heads Hamas’s diaspora office.
