Yesterday Hezbollah reported in Al Manar that a Hamas delegation will soon leave for Syria. Since the organization tried to get Hamas' response to the news, it follows that the source of the news is Iran or Syria and not Hamas. Unless, of course, Hezbollah is trying to mislead its readers in Israel. Hamas, in any case, did not respond to the news. Since Hamas' dialogue with Syria is limited, not only due to the strained relations, but also because Syria's influence on the Israeli-Palestinian arena is weightless now, it is likely that the source of the information that was conveyed to Al Manar is in Iran, and the real reason for Hamas's travel abroad therefore, is A meeting with an Iranian delegation regarding the tensions between Hamas and Iran in the Palestinian-Israeli arena. We reported on these tensions here exclusively about a month ago.

Briefly, again the story of the tensions between Hamas and Iran: Iran has greatly strengthened the Islamic Jihad in the past year, and Hamas realized from this that the Jihad is trying to do to it what it did to Fatah in 2007: remove it from power and step into its shoes as sovereign in Gaza. Following this reasoning among the leadership of Hamas, the organization resulted in the handover of the head of the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank to the IDF, a move which led to a military clash between the Jihad and the IDF, in Operation "Alot Hashachar", which brought down the Jihad in Three days to the boards. In conclusion: Following this recognition by Hamas regarding the danger to its rule, the organization reduced the power of the jihad and Iran (also) in the West Bank, and this is the source of the tensions between the parties.

What will bring about reconciliation between Hamas and Iran? It is possible that a new intifada is armed and equipped, led by Hamas, and supported by a regional power. Of course, there are other options, and we only highlight this option out of our estimation. And again, it is not about knowledge but about assessment; And if this assessment is correct, it is very worthwhile to prepare for it. Daily entry into the cities to search for wanted persons and increase the tension with all those present in the terrorist picture of the North Bank, those who may also oppose the initiative, could achieve the opposite, and promote such a plan of Hamas-Iran.
