Hamas' Zahar denies report that Hamas won't back Iran
Iran's FARS News is claiming that Hamas 'foreign minister' Mahmoud al-Zahar is denying a BBC report that claimed that Zahar said that Hamas would not attack Israel if Israel attacks Iran. BBC Persian's website alleged in a report on Wednesday that the No. 2 Hamas official in the Gaza Strip has assured that his movement would not take any action in the face of an Israeli attack on Iran.Consider the source: Is this wishful thinking? I'd like to see a video of Zahar saying that before I believe it.
Al-Zahar strongly rejected the BBC claim as unfounded and a lie.
"Retaliation with utmost power is the position of Hamas with regard to a Zionist war on Iran," Zahar told FNA on Wednesday afternoon.
Zahar rejected the possibility of any Israeli aggression against Iran, but meantime, reiterated that Hamas will give a crushing response to not only the Zionists but also to "whoever helping them" in such an attack.
