Late IRGC top dog Soleimani told Hamas that Iran would “never abandon Palestine,” the “pearl of the Islamic world”

Iran’s eternal support of the Palestinian jihadist drive to obliterate Israel “from the river to the sea” is also manifested in its unstinting support for its proxy, Hizballah.

Iran is also a major funder of Hamas. And only a few days ago — in keeping with Soleimani’s commitment to “the pearl of the Islamic world” — Khamenei denounced Israel as a “tumor” to be removed and hailed Tehran’s supply of arms to Palestinians.

The entire Palestinian “resistance” against Israel is an anti-Zionist jihadist campaign against the very existence of a Jewish state, inspired and supported by antisemitic Quranic verses.

“IRGC commander Soleimani to Hamas: Iran will never abandon Palestine,” JNS, May 27, 2020:

Prior to his death in a U.S. drone strike in Iraq in January, Iranian Quds Force Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani wrote a letter to Muhammad Deif, the commander of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, promising him that Iran would never abandon Palestine, “the pearl of the Islamic world.”

In the letter, published on the the website of the Al-Mayadeen television channel, the Iranian commander conveyed his greetings to Hamas’s fighters and to the Palestinian people as a whole, and promised them that Iran would not abandon them under any circumstances. He added that “the death knell of the invading Zionists will soon be heard,” and expressed hope to die as a martyr for the sake of Palestine.
The letter is further evidence of the close relations between Iran, which calls for the annihilation of Israel, and Hamas, and in particular of the ties between Soleimani and Deif.

It should be noted that Hamas officials have recently made many statements in praise of the Iranian regime and its ties with their movement. On May 20, for instance, in a speech on the occasion of Quds Day—a day of solidarity with Jerusalem and the Palestinians marked by Iran on the last Friday of Ramadan—Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political bureau, said that “Iran has never hesitated to support the resistance and assist it financially, militarily and technologically.”….
