Iran helped to plan Hamas’ jihad attacks on Israel over several weeks. Those attacks were swift, brutal and employed the barbaric tactics of the Islamic State. The Iranian Islamic regime has steadily funded the Palestinian jihad, including Hizballah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Iran has been relentlessly pushing for a united attack against Israel. Now the regime is offering to host an emergency Organization of Islamic Cooperation meeting about Israel’s response.
It was Iran that reportedly proposed the emergency OIC meeting. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called on “Muslim and Arab countries to coordinate efforts to stop Israel’s crimes.” Raisi also accused Israel of “dropping bombs on the defenseless people of Gaza because it cannot defeat the Palestinian fighters,” even though Israel is in the process of doing just that. As the Islamic ummah draws together to defend its Palestinian “brothers,” the truth about where each member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation stands will be publicly revealed. The UAE and Bahrain, which signed the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords with Israel, have criticized the Hamas attacks.

I think that other than islamic virtue-signaling, this is mainly an attempt to grab mind-share for the leadership of islam. Which Saudi Arabia has suspended its talks w/ Israel, it’s certainly not gone out of its way to support Hamas, which is a Muslim Brotherhood branch and therefore opposed by Riyadh (which endorses the rival Muslim World League. So expect Turkey and Iran to joust over that leadership by trying to one-up each other in supporting Hamas

FWIW, Iran denies the $6B has been blocked. Both sides are liars, so who knows?
