During a recent visit by a Hamas delegation to Tehran, leaders of the militant group secured a big funding increase, if they agree to open a second front against Israel if it attacks a northern neighbor. However, Hamas has made little headway in seeking Iranian help restoring severed relations with Syria.
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that has governed the besieged Gaza Strip since 2006, secured a big funding increase from Iran last month when its leadership paid a visit to the Iranian capital.
