(JNS) Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh touched down in Tehran on Tuesday to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and other top officials, the official Press TV channel reported.

At a press conference following the meeting with Amir-Abdollahian, Haniyeh said Israel is facing political isolation over the war against Hamas, pointing at Monday’s UN Security Council resolution demanding a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

“Although this resolution came late and there may be some gaps that need to be filled, the resolution itself indicates that the occupation [Israel] is experiencing unprecedented political isolation,” he said.

Haniyeh added that Israel was “losing political cover and protection even in the Security Council” and that “the US is unable to impose its will on the international community.”
