"Hamas Leader's Tehran Visit Marks Turning Point in Iran's Support Against Israel"

Hamas leadership met with Iranian counterparts to praise the U.N. Security Council resolution urging a cease-fire, calling it a blow to Israel's goals. The U.S. abstention from voting allowed the motion to pass, leading to Israeli officials canceling a high-level delegation to Washington, D.C. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the abstention, stating it damages the war effort and hostage release. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman criticized the U.N. resolution, claiming it gives Hamas a diplomatic victory. Iranian outlets hailed the resolution as a triumph for Hamas, with Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian claiming it proves that eliminating Hamas is an unachievable goal.
