In a statement issued on March 24, Hamas expressed deep gratitude to Iran for its continuous and steadfast support for the Palestinian people. Hamas emphasized that Iran has consistently stood by the Palestinian cause for decades, despite international pressure and sanctions.
According to the statement, Iran's support extends beyond political and diplomatic aspects to include humanitarian and material assistance. Hamas affirmed that the bilateral relationship has become a firm pillar in the Palestinian struggle for self-determination.
This move comes as the conflict in the Gaza Strip remains tense, with military strikes and fierce clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups. Iran has long been considered one of Hamas's closest allies, providing both weapons and financial backing to the movement.
Analysts say this praise further solidifies Iran's role in shaping the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, while highlighting deep divisions among Arab and Islamic factions over the Palestinian issue.
