The Iran-Hamas Plan to Destroy Israel | Gatestone

Iran’s goal in this move? For Hamas to maintain and enhance its preparation for war against Israel.
Iran’s message to Hamas: If you want us to continue providing you with financial and military aid, you must continue to hold on to your weapons and reject demands to disarm.
Iran wants Hamas to retain its security control over the Gaza Strip so that the Iranians can hold onto another power base in the Middle East, as it does with Hezbollah in Lebanon.
