Ahmadinejad reaffirms support to Hamas
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reaffirmed his support for the Hamas authorities in the Gaza Strip in a telephone call with the premier dismissed by the Western backed Palestinian leadership, a Hamas spokesman said on Sunday. Prime minister Ismail Haniya spoke on Saturday night with... the president of the Iranian Islamic republic Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, spokesman Tahar al-Nunu said. He wished him well on the occasion of the month of Ramadan and reaffirmed Palestinian-Iranian ties, he added. The call took place against the backdrop of the UN General Assembly meeting in New York, which Ahmadinejad - who has openly called for the destruction of Israel - will be addressing amid a storm of protests.
