Iran International:

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political bureau, has met with Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf during his visit to Tehran, the latest in a string of high level meetings amid the war in Gaza.

"The issue of Palestine is one of the current concerns of the Iranian Supreme Leader. Therefore, we also support you in the parliament and provide the necessary support to the resistance front," Ghalibaf said during the meeting, Ali Khamenei having given birth to Iran's proxy militias around the Middle East.

"In addition, the support of other forces of the resistance front, especially Lebanon and Syria, in the fight against the Zionist regime, was very important," he added, referencing the attacks on Israel launched on other fronts, not only from Gaza by Hamas.

In 2018, US President Donald Trump’s special Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt, claimed Iran provided $100 million annually to Hamas compared to $700m annually to Hezbollah.

Haniyeh, who arrived in Iran on Tuesday, held talks with key Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian.

Ziyad al-Nakhalah, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, also met with Speaker Ghalibaf on Thursday. He also held a meeting with Khamenei on Thursday.
