Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of Hamas, recently made a significant trip to Iran, marking his latest visit to the country since the group's assault on Israel last year. Haniyeh has visited Tehran multiple times since the conflict began in Gaza, with notable visits including attending the funeral of former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in May and participating in the inauguration ceremony for Raisi's successor, President Masoud Pezehkian.
During his visit, Haniyeh met with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and gave an interview at the 'Land of Civilizations' exhibition in Tehran's Milad Tower. In the interview, he criticized attempts to build civilizations through violence and oppression, emphasizing the importance of genuine and sustainable progress.
