TEHRAN – The Hamas representative in Lebanon has underlined that the Palestinian resistance movement is determined to continue its good relations with Iran, Fars reported.

“Following a decade of Gaza blockade, the continuation of Zionist aggressions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the mushrooming Zionist settlements in the West Bank make it inevitable for the Palestinians, including Hamas, to strengthen and promote ties with Iran,” Ali Baraka said in a meeting with the Iranian Embassy's First Attaché to Lebanon Mohammad Majedi in Beirut on Friday.

Majedi, for his part, underlined that Iran will continue to support the Palestinian nation, the resistance movements and Palestine's Intifada against Israel's occupation.
