Hamas Leaders Due in Iran Soon

Navideshahed: Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Mash'al and Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh plan to pay a visit to Tehran during the next few days, a senior Hamas official said on Sunday.

Speaking to FNA, Haniyeh's Deputy and Hamas Foreign Minister Mohammed Awad said that Haniyeh's visit to Iran is due to take place as part of his tour of Muslim nations that started last Sunday.

Hamas Prime Minister, for the first time since 2007, left the Gaza Strip last Sunday on a tour that takes him to a number of Arab and Islamic countries, including Egypt, Sudan, Qatar, Turkey, Tunisia and Bahrain.

Awad, however, said that the exact date of Haniyeh's visit to Tehran will be announced later.

Meantime, Palestine daily quoted Yusuf Rezqah, an advisor to Haniyeh, as saying that Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Mash'al and Ismail Haniyeh would accompany each other in upcoming visits to Iran and Turkey at the head of a Hamas delegation.

Haniyeh's regional tour began three days after Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Hamas, met in Cairo to thrash out implementation of a surprise deal they signed in April.
