Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will travel to Tehran today to meet Iranian officials, a day after the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian group, Iran’s official Press TV reported.
Iran and its terror proxies in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq have been threatening a regional conflict since the start of the war, sparked by Hamas’s brutal October 7 assault on southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and saw some 253 people taken hostage in Gaza.
Following Hamas’s onslaught, Israel vowed to eliminate the terror group from the Gaza Strip, which it has ruled since 2007, and launched an operation from the air and the sea, and on the ground.
Haniyeh has lived in Qatar, which hosts the terror group’s political bureau, since he was replaced by Yahye Sinwar as Hamas leader in Gaza in 2007.
