From Haretz (hat-tip Power Line)
Hamas’ top political leader Khaled Meshal said Tuesday that Iran would play an increasing role in Palestinian affairs and the political future of Palestine.
“With respect to the challenges that we have ahead of us, Iran’s role in the future of Palestine should continue and increase,” Meshal said in a joint press conference in Tehran with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
The Power Line folks also note that a US envoy has promised the Palestinian Authority that U.S. financial aid will continue. The report, from the Jerusalem Post, does not indicate whether the commitment was short-term or a tea leaf about what may happen when Hamas forms the new PA government.
