Alwaght- A senior official of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has called for mending ties with countries that support resistance, with Iran being on top of them.
Hamas co-founder Mahmoud Zahar has reiterated the importance of improving ties with all the countries that support Palestinian resistance especially Iran. “I call for mending ties with any state that has stand beside us, whether it was Iran, Turkey, Korea or any other state,” Zahhar said.
Speaking during a seminar organized by Palestine Center for Studies, Zahhar stressed on the importance of the resistance as the only “lightning candle” in the Muslim World, noting that Palestinians should only bet on resistance.
Commenting on US President Donald Trump’s visit to the region, the Hamas official said “We have to stand by states that have supported us, on top of which is Iran.”

Hamas officials have on several occasions praised Iran’s support for Palestinians in the face of Israeli regime’s acts of aggression.
