Amir-Abdollahian Reports on Discussion with Ismail Haniyeh; Israel Announces Haniyeh to Fly to Tehran on Private Jet

On Thursday evening, November 2, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, wrote on his account on 'X': 'In a phone call tonight with Sheikh Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political bureau, we discussed and exchanged views on the latest developments in Gaza and the West Bank.' Since the onset of Hamas's attacks on Israel on October 7, Amir-Abdollahian has had multiple discussions with the leaders of this group and other regional officials, but he did not provide further details about the 'exchange of views' with 'Sheikh' Ismail Haniyeh. At the same time, Daniel Hagari, the spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, without mentioning details, stated that Ismail Haniyeh is set to travel to Tehran on his 'private jet.' Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas's political bureau, who lives in Qatar, had also met with Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in Doha on Tuesday, October 31. The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic had previously met with Haniyeh in Qatar on October 15, a week after Hamas's attack on Israel. While the leaders of the Islamic Republic express joy over Hamas's attack on Israel, they attempt to deny any connection to this assault. However, Israel Hayom reported on Thursday that 'the Islamic Republic has sent five tons of weapons to Syria,' adding: 'An Iranian Mahan Air plane flew from Mehrabad Airport in Tehran to Latakia Airport on Thursday, and according to the testimony of an employee at Mehrabad Airport, several pallets of weapons, accompanied by a special guard, were loaded onto the plane.' The Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council of the White House also stated on Monday, October 23, during a press briefing at the White House: 'The Iranian regime continues to support Hamas and Hezbollah and, in some cases, actively facilitates these attacks.'
