Iranian FM met with Hamas leaders in Doha earlier today

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi met with Hamas leaders at the terror group’s office in Doha earlier today.
The Hamas delegation is headed by the group’s Shura Council chair Muhammad Darwish.
Darwish sits on the five-member Leadership Council established by then-Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar shortly before he was killed by Israel in October.
Hamas hasn’t yet named a successor for Sinwar but the group referred to Darwish as the head of its Leadership Council in a readout yesterday, and he is increasingly being framed as a consensus pick for the position.
