Meshaal compares Israeli prime minister to Hitler, criticizes Hillary Clinton in Yahoo News exclusive
The political chief of Hamas has called on President Barack Obama to intervene with the Israeli government to "lift the siege" of Gaza and push for a cease-fire in the conflict to stop a "holocaust" against the Palestinians.
