Iran seems to have never stopped funding Hamas families
Iran has reportedly resumed its funding to the Palestinian Hamas movement through funds to families of Palestinians killed in resistance activities in the Gaza Strip.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Iran has renewed its funding for the Hamas movement through aid to the families of Palestinians killed in resistance activities, numbering 1,700 families in the Gaza Strip, who stopped receiving their monthly salaries in February because of a decision by the Palestinian Authority (PA). A limited amount of funds also went to families affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement.
The Iranian Palestinian Martyrs Foundation announced May 30 that it would provide financial aid to 1,540 families in the Gaza Strip.
This announcement was made on the sidelines of the annual Iftar dinner held in the Gaza Strip for the third year in a row. The dinner was organized in Tehran by the International Conference to Support the Palestinian Intifada.
In his speech, head of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran Ali Shamkhani saluted the families of the “martyrs and wounded” and stressed that Iran will continue to support the Palestinian factions.
