in the west bank. hamas controls gaza of course but he was a very effective member of hamas in the west bank that is under the control of the palestinian authority. i met him back in cairo in 2021 when he was attending a series of meetings held between the palestinian factions. i remember one of the most important lines he told me at the time is that hamas and the palestinian people are entitled to various forms of resistance. itold him, "even armed resistance?" he said, yes, even if the west does not approve he said, yes, even if the west does not approve of that or does not like that, it doesn�*t matter because if we look back at all resistance movements across the globe, they have held arms at some point. i remember he was also very firm and very cautious with his words and very calm. that line really says a lot about the way he thinks. certainly somebody who had influence, notjust politically but also militarily.
