This excerpt from today\’s article by Con Coughlin of the London Daily Telegraph tells the tale:
Iran has sent Hamas\’s military wing tens of millions of dollars to help it rebuild the network of tunnels in Gaza destroyed by Israel\’s invasion last summer, intelligence sources have told The Sunday Telegraph.
It is also funding new missile supplies to replenish stocks used to bombard residential neighbourhoods in Israel during the war, code-named Operation Protective Edge by Israel.
The renewed funding is a sign that the two old allies are putting behind them a rift caused by the conflict in Syria, where Shia Iran is backing President Bashar al-Assad against Hamas\’s mainly Sunni allies.
Iran has sponsored Hamas\’s military operations for years, despite the contradiction that Hamas is part of the worldwide, Sunni-supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, while Iran is Shia.
Yes, this is the same Iran that President Obama, Secretary of State Kerry and Energy Secretary Ernest “I\’m still stuck in the 60\’s” Moniz assure us will be a credible peace partner – and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is ridiculous to worry about.
Do these people ever get anything right about anything?
