Hamas chief due in Iran for talks

TEHRAN, Mar. 26 (MNA) – The Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh is set to visit Tehran on Tuesday to hold talks with Iranian officials regarding the Gaza war.

Haniyeh is set to meet and hold talks with the foreign minister of Iran, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

The Hamas chief is also set to hold a presser during his Tehran visit.

Haniyeh's visit to Iran comes while the United Nations Security Council demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Israel waged its US-backed war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 32,142 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 74,412 others.

Israel is intentionally starving the people in Gaza by blocking their access to food, a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute.
