Iran losing Arab sympathy for backing Assad: Hamas
[Al Ahram] Iran must reconsider its support for the Syrian regime if it does not want to alienate Arab public opinion, the deputy chief of the Iranian-backed Paleostinian movement Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, said on Monday.

"Iran's position in the Arab world, it's no longer a good position," Mussa Abu Marzuk, whose movement's politburo had been based in Damascus

, said during a briefing to news hounds at his new headquarters in the Egyptian capital."It has to address its position, so as not to lose public opinion," he said.
He says this, while eagerly awaiting the next shipment of Iranian missiles.

over his brutal crackdown on the revolt against his regime that began in March last year. As a result, his Islamist movement is no longer as close to Tehran, which supplies weapons to Paleostinian bad turbans, as it once was.

"Iran asked Hamas to adopt a closer position to Syria. Hamas refused, and this has affected our relationship with Iran," Abu Marzuk said.

Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal confirmed last week that Iran "had a role in arming" the movement's Death Eaters in Gazoo during their eight-day conflict with Israel, and thanked Tehran, despite the disagreement over support for Assad.
