		Khaled Meshal knows he is lucky to be alive - even if he remains mystified about precisely what it was that almost killed him.
		He was one of Meshal's two bodyguards that morning in Amman when the Hamas leader was sprayed with what appears to have been a time-delayed nerve gas, an insidious poison that within 24 hours prompted an acute form of respiratory failure.
		Meshal is still alive, exuberantly describing the attempt on his life as an incident that has "destroyed the legendary image of the Mossad." Hamas's archenemy Israel has been embarrassed, its tactics exposed.

		Meshal, who survived an assassination attempt in Amman in 1997 by Israeli Mossad agents, is predictably security conscious and his Egyptian hosts made sure his protection was secured.
		Meshal insisted that progress was achieved in the Cairo talks, although he expressed regret that this progress was not translated into a document of final communiqué.
		As far as Meshal is concerned, "I assume everyone is serious and I don't question intentions." The "battle is fierce", he said, "and it's affecting everybody: the PA, the opposition, the resistance factions and Fatah, because we are facing an enemy that does not distinguish among factions in the end.

		After the Hamas electoral victory in the Palestinian territories, Meshal said the group was ready to negotiate what he called a just peace with Israel, but the movement's failure to renounce violence and his role in the recent escalation may bring further pressure on him.
		Meshal is head of the Hamas politburo, a leadership body separate from Hamas' Palestinian Authority government, making him the group's top-ranking member.
		Meshal's travels also afford him the opportunity to raise money, which has become crucial since the United States and European Union cut their shipments of aid to the Palestinian Authority when the Hamas government refused to renounce violence and recognize Israel.

		Citing an interview with Meshal published in the Feb. 28 issue of the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat, Segev noted Meshal’s continual refusal to recognize Israel’s legitimacy and to disarm.
		The most Meshal is prepared to offer is a “long-term” ceasefire with Israel in return for Israel’s total withdrawal from the West Bank, along with Israel’s acceptance of the “right of return” of Palestinians to Israel — a non-starter for Israel.
		Meshal’s rejectionist declaration came just days before he was scheduled to travel, as the head of a Hamas delegation, to Moscow to meet with high-ranking Russian officials who were trying to reassure the West of their confidence in being able to prevail upon Hamas to “moderate.”

		Meshal's bodyguard and the Jordanian police caught the two assailants, who were carrying Canadian passports.
		Beyond the failure of the attack and the release of a senior Hamas official, Netanyahu came under sharp criticism for endangering relations with Jordan, the last Arab country still friendly to his government, and for boosting the standing of Hamas at the expense of the Palestinian Authority at a time when American-sponsored talks were restarting.

		Meshal underlined the three-pronged approach Hamas will most likely promote as its electoral platform in the July elections.
		It is based on maintaining the resistance as long as there is Israeli occupation and pursuing a national agenda "based on the collective participation of Palestinian forces" alongside a socio- economic developmental project.

		Meshal, who travels throughout the Arab world, will not be part of the new government since he is abroad, but will exert considerable influence even from afar.

		Since then, the organization has been split, with hard-liners like Meshal concentrated in Amman calling for a tougher stand toward the Palestinian Authority and for continued attacks against Israel while Hamas leaders in the West Bank and Gaza moved toward a dialogue of reconciliation with Arafat and a halt, if only temporarily, to the bombings.
		Cries for revenge for the Meshal assassination attempt, disagreement in the militant ranks and anxiety among Amman-based leaders that they may be losing power to Gaza -- all could set off more bombs.
