Hamas chief thanks Iran for support to ‘resistance’ against Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHamas leader Ismail Haniyeh sends a letter to Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei thanking him for his “unflinching and valuable” support for the Palestinian position on Jerusalem, the official Iranian news outlet Press TV reports.
Haniyeh warns of the “‘big conspiracy’ by global hegemonic powers against al-Quds and the people of Palestine,” according to Press TV. He calls Hamas-ruled Gaza “the fortress of resistance.”
“The US and some defeated leaders are seeking to end the issue of Palestine and resistance against the occupying regime [of Israel] so that the [Arab] leaders that pine for gratifying the US and Israel could normalize their relations with the Zionist regime and make them public,” he is quoted as saying.
