Hamas Underlines Iran’s Constructive Role in Uniting Palestinian Factions, FARS News Agency, April 26, 2014

TEHRAN (FNA) – Senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar voiced satisfaction in the close and strategic relations between the Palestinian resistance movement and Iran, and praised Tehran’s unsparing efforts as a main cause of the recent agreement cut by Hamas and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

Al-Zahar termed the relations of the Hamas Movement and Islamic Republic of Iran as strategic.He further pointed out that Iran has never conditioned its support for Hamas Movement, which in turn has led to formation of appropriate relations between the two Palestinian parties.

The Hamas official added that the Islamic Ummah should follow a common strategy.

On Wednesday, the PLO and the Hamas signed a reconciliation agreement.

They agreed to form a “national consensus” government under Abbas within weeks.

Israel’s security cabinet announced in response on Thursday it would “not negotiate with a Palestinian government backed by Hamas” and vowed “measures” in response, but did not elaborate.

Any new measures would follow a raft of financial sanctions unveiled this month by the Israeli regime when the Palestinians applied to join 15 international treaties, which followed after Israel refused to release a fourth and final batch of Palestinians who have been in Israeli prisons for more than two decades.
