Hamas intends to move its political leadership from Doha, Qatar, to Baghdad, Iraq, in a decision already approved by the Iraqi government, UAE newspaper The National revealed, citing Iraqi lawmakers. 

The National noted that last month, the head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, and Iraqi and Iranian government officials had been discussing a possible relocation to Baghdad. Haniyeh also discussed the matter with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani during a phone call conversation. 

In early June, the movement established its political office in Baghdad and plans to launch a press center there in the upcoming weeks, but is still determining a timeframe for the relocation. Additionally, the newspaper reported that Tehran would handle the security of the movement's members in Iraq.
