Islam Times - Dr. Moussa Abu Marzouk opens up on Iran relations

Islam Times - Dr Moussa abu Marzouk the Deputy Head of the Hamas political bureau, opened up earlier this week on existing tensions in between the Hamas and Iran following Hamas leaders’ condemnation of President Bashar al-Assad and calls for his departure from the presidency.

He noted that relations with Tehran “has soured” after the Hamas rejected any form of violence or repression against the Syrian people.

Interestingly, as the Hamas distanced itself from Tehran its relationship with Egypt and then-President Mohammed Morsi became stronger than ever.

The Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood have always entertained a strong political bond.
Speaking on the Hamas relations with the Fatah and a possible reconciliation, Dr Marzouk noted that foreign powers worked to compromise talks in between the two Palestinian factions as to promote political fragmentation and instability within the Palestinian community.
