Iran cuts Hamas funding over West Bank failure

Senior Hamas delegation traveled to Tehran in September seeking to restore financial support, but Iranian officials refused, disappointed by the group's inability to spark a major escalation in Judea and Samaria

Iran Cuts Off Hamas Funding After Failure to Ignite Judea and Samaria

A senior Hamas delegation visited Tehran in early September and met with a series of high-ranking Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, according to a report by Elior Levy on Kan News.

A Palestinian source involved in the discussions told Kan that during the meetings, Hamas representatives asked Tehran to restore financial support to the organization, which has been frozen in recent months. The Hamas delegation, however, received no commitment that the flow of funds would resume.

According to the source, the Iranian refusal stems from deep disappointment in Tehran over Hamas's failure to bring about a significant security escalation in Judea and Samaria. In light of this, Hamas continues its efforts to ignite the region, in part to satisfy the Iranian regime and secure the renewal of financial aid.

The source also noted that senior figures from the Revolutionary Guards or the Quds Force did not participate in the official meetings that were made public.
