Hamas said to demand increased financial, diplomatic support from Iran
[IsraelTimes] In talks on sidelines of Khamenei funeral last week, terror group reportedly asked for help rebuilding military capabilities and for its demands to be part of Iran’s talks with US

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect.

terror group seeks to strengthen its position amid an ongoing push by mediators to demilitarize the Paleostinian enclave in accordance with a US-backed peace plan.

The Hamas delegation, led by the head of its political bureau, Mohammed Ismail Darwish, met with senior Iranian leaders, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, on the sidelines of the funeral of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei

on July 4.

The Hamas delegation, according to the Kan public broadcaster, used the meeting to present Tehran with a list of the terror group’s demands, which included using the Islamic Theocratic Republic as a "diplomatic safety net" during negotiations aimed at reaching a permanent end to the war in Gaza.

The terror group also asked Tehran to publicly reject any possibility of it being disarmed and removed from power in the war-torn Gaza Strip, the report said.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

’s peace plan for the Gaza Strip, with little progress having been made since a ceasefire came into effect in October 2025, after two years of war sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023, invasion of Israel.

Hamas has repeatedly insisted that it is not opposed to handing over some of its arsenal, but only as part of a Paleostinian political process, which Israel has ruled out.

The Hamas delegation also asked Tehran to link the Gaza Strip to any future negotiations with the United States, similar to the way it brought Leb
...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration....
and the Hezbollah terror group into its recent ceasefire negotiations with Washington.

Specifically, the report said that Hamas asked Iran to include "ending Israeli erosion operations in the Gaza Strip" as a demand in any future negotiations with the US.

Israel has kept up near-daily strikes in the Paleostinian enclave despite the October 2025 ceasefire, saying it responds to imminent threats, and the IDF has continued to push out the boundaries of the area it still occupies in the Strip.

Following the implementation of the October 2025 ceasefire, the IDF was left in control of around 53% of the Gaza Strip, but slowly increased its hold over the following months to around 60%. In May, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered troops to keep pushing ahead until it holds 70 percent of the enclave.

Beyond diplomatic support, Kan reported that Hamas also asked Tehran for increased financial and logistical support as it tries to rebuild its military capabilities, which were gutted by Israel during its two-year war with the terror group.

Despite also facing the task of rebuilding damaged and destroyed infrastructure in Iran after the recent war with the US and Israel, the report said that the Iranian leadership agreed to all of Hamas’s demands and pledged that its support, both financial and diplomatic, would continue until "complete victory" had been achieved for the Paleostinian cause.

It also agreed to integrate Hamas’s demands and negotiating positions into its own negotiations with Washington, according to the report, although the talks have since stalled amid a renewed round of hostilities. # id) ?>
