| Some text translated via Google Translate. Edited. One of the first foreign guests of the new Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi was the head of Hamas, Ismail Haniya. Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi says the Islamic Republic will continue to support Palestine as the main issue of the Muslim world. “We have never had and will never have any doubt about this policy. In our view, Palestine has been and will be the first issue of the Muslim world,” Raeisi said in a Friday meeting with head of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas Ismail Haniyeh, who took part in the swearing-in ceremony of the Iranian president Thursday. Raeisi commended Haniyeh’s optimistic stance on the liberation of al-Quds and the end of Palestine’s occupation and said “Operation al-Quds Sword” — the Palestinian resistance groups’ 11-day retaliatory rocket and missile launches in response to Israel’s brutal bombing campaign of Gaza in May — showed that a great leap has been made in the fight against the occupiers. “Today, signs of great victory of the resistant movement have emerged and Operation al-Quds Sword was one of the signs of this victory,” he said. In Operation Sword al-Quds, he added, the resistance forces tightened the noose on the Zionist enemy in a way that neither the Zionists themselves nor their supporters could even imagine. Adds Rozhin: One of the first foreign guests of the new Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi was the head of Hamas, Ismail Haniya. Raisi also promised to maintain close relations with Hamas and other Palestinian groups that are fighting against the Israeli occupation and the apartheid regime. Iran's close relationship with Hamas is the result of the diplomatic efforts of Qassem Soleimani, who was able to reconcile Hamas and Hezbollah and overcome the aftermath of the Syrian divide, when Hamas openly supported forces in Syria that opposed Bashar al-Assad. Suleimani made sure that all major Palestinian groups accepted the basic principle of the "Axis of Resistance" - the main enemies are the United States and Israel, so Shiites and Sunnis should not be at enmity with each other, weakening themselves in the face of the main enemy of all Muslims. Hamas, although not immediately, adopted this principle, Regarding the shelling on the Lebanese-Israeli border and the nighttime bombing of Gaza (Israel claims that "fireballs" were launched from Gaza), Hamas said it fully supports Hezbollah's attacks against the Zionist enemy |
