“In Lebanon, Iran FM meets with Hezbollah chief and Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials,” Times of Israel, 11-23-23. Now we now Iran’s current strategy—a permanent ceasefire to protect Hamas—which Israel won’t agree to. “In second visit since Oct.7, Amir-Abdollahian meets with leaders of three terror groups backed by Tehran, threatens conflict will expand if Gaza war resumes after lull.” … “Iran is the main state sponsor of the three terror groups, among others, and has been providing them with financial and military aid over the years in its declared effort to annihilate Israel.” … “In an interview with the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen news channel on Wednesday, Amir-Abdollahian said that the Gaza war is likely to spread unless the truce between Israel and Hamas, which is expected to go into effect by Friday, is maintained.” … The FM said, “If it does not continue… the conditions in the region will not remain the same as before the ceasefire and the scope of the war will expand,” he said. The truce agreement that was finalized between Israel and Hamas on Tuesday, and approved by the Israeli cabinet early Wednesday morning, stipulates that Hamas will release 50 Israeli women and children hostages who were abducted and taken into Gaza during the terror group’s October 7 terror onslaught. Some 240 hostages are being held overall. The hostages will be released in groups of 12-13 per day over four days, starting on Friday or later. In exchange, Israel has agreed to a truce for those four days, for the first time since the outbreak of the war, as well as the release of 150 teenage and female Palestinian security prisoners. The halt in fighting could be extended by one additional day for each additional group of 10 Israeli hostages freed, after which Israel’s campaign to destroy Hamas in Gaza is expected to resume.”
