The meeting transpired on Saturday, marking a crucial dialogue between Iranian and Hamas officials.

This diplomatic encounter follows Amirabdollahian's arrival in Doha, where he previously held discussions with Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the Foreign Minister and Prime Minister of Qatar.

The discussions are part of Amirabdollahian's broader regional tour, initiated on Thursday, which has already seen him visit Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon.

The focal point of the talks has been the ongoing zionist military campaign against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

The meeting with Haniyeh is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first direct engagement between Iranian and Hamas officials since October 7, coinciding with the launch of the unprecedented Al-Aqsa Storm Operation by the Palestinian resistance group from the Gaza Strip.

Amidst heightened tensions in the region, the discussions in Doha aim to address the evolving situation and explore potential avenues for cooperation between Iran and Hamas against the zionist aggression on Gaza. (ILKHA)
