Relocation, Relocation

Israel is celebrating the return home of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, held captive by Hamas for five years. Hamas are celebrating the high price they've exacted for Shalit's freedom, namely Israel's agreement to release more than a thousand Palestinian militants, many of whom were serving life sentences for killing Israelis.

Hamas must be relieved to have something to celebrate, given all the embarrassing unpleasantness their friend and neighbour, that nice Mr Assad, has been experiencing:

The Hamas leadership is seeking to relocate its headquarters from Damascus, in the wake of continuing unrest and pro-democracy protests in Syria, now in their eighth month.

Sounds like a job for Kirstie and Phil.
