Against the background of what is happening in the Middle East, you can stumble upon articles on the Internet with critical content against Hamas and Iran. In addition to criticism, there is a share of pessimism and shortcomings in the general understanding of the picture of what is happening. Below are the arguments for a number of common questions about the situation in the Gaza Strip.
– Why doesn’t Iran declare war on the Zionists?
At the very beginning of the Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threatened Iran with war if Tehran openly helped the Palestinians. Further, he repeatedly repeated such threats. Actually, this reflects the priorities of the Republicans’ foreign policy, namely, helping the Zionists in all ways. While the Democrats do not want chaos in the Middle East. Iranians are alone, so they don’t have to choose between two options (big war or strategic deterrence).
– Why don’t the Iranians, having advanced weapons in their arsenal, increase military support for the Palestinian resistance?
Iranian strategists are working day and night to develop the military potential of the Palestinian resistance and develop new ways to supply the resistance with everything necessary. Therefore, the issue of the absence of any military assistance to the Palestinians should be addressed here to those countries and political parties that are much more free in their foreign policy and are not isolated or blockaded, as in the case of Iran. Therefore, I believe that the Turkish government and the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood bear a much greater responsibility than other countries or parties (I do not take into account the Arab regimes, they are simply servants of Zionism).

– Has the Hamas movement weakened due to the loss of Ismail Haniyeh and Saleh al-Aruri?
The loss of a number of leaders may have a negative impact on Hamas, but only temporarily. Hamas is an extremely flexible structure and has a number of alternatives. For example, there are rumors that a Hamas branch has already been established in Lebanon, which operates in the style of its counterparts in Gaza. In any case, Hamas knows how to surprise and, of course, the leadership calculated various scenarios in case of the martyrdom of its leaders. Therefore, I do not think that the assassinations of prominent Hamas leaders can create a “major problem” for the Islamic Resistance.

– Ismail Haniyeh was a “moderate politician”, does his murder mean that Hamas has entered a “radical stage”?
Here it is necessary to understand what is meant by the phrase “radical stage”, and what does “moderate” mean? All Hamas officials follow the updated charter adopted in 2017, and the loss of leaders cannot affect the departure of the basic principles. Changes can affect an organization in two cases – external and internal. In the first case, if drastic changes take place in the Middle East and the Arab region gets rid of tyranny in favor of Islamic organizations with an ideology akin to Hamas, in the second case, if “revolutionary changes” take place inside the Hamas shura council.
Answers to such questions and the elimination of shortcomings in reports and articles on this topic will continue in the following materials.
