Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei fetes Hamas politburo leader Ismail Haniyeh for galvanizing world support for Palestinians and against Israel, crowing that the group’s propaganda has outshone Israel’s attempts to garner international backing, semi-official Iranian media reports.
“Despite the enemy’s wishes, it has turned Palestine to the world’s first issue,” Khamenei says, urging that further efforts be invested into building support for the terror group.
The theme is repeated in a separate meeting with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.
“Today, with the fierce resistance and standing of the oppressed and powerful people of Gaza, the issue of Palestine has gone beyond the Islamic world and has become the issue of the world of humanity. The people of the world hate the criminal Zionist regime and its main supporter, the United States, with all their heart. They love the oppressed people of Gaza,” Raisi is quoted saying by state-run media
Raisi also says Arab countries that normalized with Israel have been left with egg on their face, calling Israel’s war against Hamas the largest genocide in world history.
Hamas has been accused by Israel and others of hiding behind Gazan civilians and pursuing a strategy that seeks to increase their suffering amid Israel’s military campaign — triggered by the terror group’s brutal onslaught on southern Israel, massacre of some 1,200 people and kidnapping of 253 others — in order to turn Israel into a pariah on the world stage.
