Senior Hamas delegation arrives in Tehran

A high-level delegation from Hamas Movement has arrived in the Iranian capital Tehran on Friday to attend Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani’s inauguration.

The delegation includes members of the group’s political bureau Ezzat al-Resheq, Saleh Arouri, Zaher Jabarin, and Osama Hamdan.

The visit is in response to an invitation sent to the group’s leadership to attend the swearing-in ceremony of President-elect Rouhani, the Movement clarified in a statement issued earlier Friday.

The statement also hailed the important role played by Iran in support of the Palestinian people and resistance.
