Hamas Is Behind Leader's Leaked Telephone Call
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Abdulrahman Al-Rashed - Mousa Abu Marzook, a senior Hamas official, says in a leaked telephone call that Iran has not provided Hamas with financial support since 2009. If this claim is true, why did Hamas continue to support Iran for six years? We know that it is because of its alliances with the Iranian and the Assad regimes that Hamas has argued with the Palestinian Authority and most of the Gulf countries for years. Hamas has helped the Iranians in every issue. There is no doubt that the "secret leaked" telephone call is part of a campaign by Hamas directed at the capitals of Gulf countries to change their positions and fund them. Hamas is certainly in great financial distress, but that is not because Iran had stopped its funding. Rather, this is due to the Egyptian army destroying hundreds of tunnels that were a huge source of finance for many years.
