Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh arrives in Tehran with a top-level Hamas delegation for talks with Iranian officials, the terror group reports.
The visit comes as Israel appears to have bolted truce and hostage deal negotiations in Qatar after Hamas rejected its latest offer, according to an Israeli official.
The terror group said yesterday that it informed the mediators it is sticking to its original position it put forth on March 14, which stipulated a permanent ceasefire, a withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip, the return of displaced Gazans, and a “real exchange of prisoners,” demands that Israel has repeatedly rejected as “delusional.”
Iranian state news agency IRNA describes Haniyeh’s visit to Tehran as “significant” as it comes one day after the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and a release of hostages taken on October 7, after the United States abstained from the vote, sparking a spat with Israel.
