Palestinians concerned Iran trying to foil ceasefire talks

Palestinian sources expressed concern that Brig.-Gen. Esmail Qaani’s promise to continue supporting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad could undermine efforts to reach a new ceasefire with Israel.

As the US, Russia, and other parties pursued efforts over the weekend to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas, Iran has praised Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza and vowed to continue its support for the Palestinian “resistance.”

Iran, which has long been supplying the terrorist groups with weapons and money, said that it “stands with the Palestinians and supports their steadfastness and bravery.”

---Snip---

Palestinian sources expressed concern that Qaani’s promise to continue supporting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) could undermine efforts to reach a new ceasefire with Israel. According to the sources, the Iranians do not want the US administration or Egypt to take credit for ending the fighting. The sources also expressed fear that Iran was seeking to instigate unrest in the West Bank in order to undermine the Palestinian Authority.

This piece is not breaking today but is important.

The piece indicates the Palestinian knowledge that Hamas is Iran and that "Palestinians " as opposed to "Gazans" see that Iran is an enemy of Palestine

Israel is destroying the Iranian plague residing in Gaza and the West Bank Palestinians know it

If wasn’t for Israel the Arabs and Iranians would be shooting each other.

After all the attacks on Israel and her retaliation stopped at the point where they were winning, the P’s and their allies now want a cease fire because Israel is destroying Hamas - Israel has had enough of these cease fires when they were winning and they’ve finally had enough and will continue until Hamas is wiped out.

Looking at the headline, I expected this to be from the Babylon Bee.
