In a message of congratulations, Ali Akbar Velayati praised Yahya Sinwar on his appointment as the new chief of Hamas, the Palestinian Resistance Movement. Velayati also honored the memory of former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, recognizing his efforts in fighting for the rights of the Palestinian people against the Zionist regime.
With Sinwar now leading Hamas, Velayati emphasized a continued commitment to resistance against the oppressive regime, especially in the quest for the liberation of Jerusalem. He expressed hope for the eventual liberation of Palestine and the downfall of the Zionist government.
Hamas announced Sinwar’s new role following the tragic assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, an act that was condemned by Iran as part of a conspiracy by Israel and the United States. Iranian leaders promised a fitting response to the aggression, with Ayatollah Khamenei warning of severe consequences for the Israeli regime.
