Hamas’ stance against the US sanctions on Iran is a natural response to the US bullying, Hamas leader Sami Abu Zohri said.

Addressing the UAE’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash, Abu Zohri said, in a tweet, “Receiving Israeli leaders who have been committing heinous crimes against the Palestinian people in an Arab country is unacceptable,” in a clear reference to Israeli Culture and Sports Minister Miri Regev’s visit to Abu Dhabi where the Israeli anthem song was played twice after the Israeli team won a gold medal.

Gargash had slammed Hamas for its stance against reimposition of US sanction on Iran and accused the Palestinian resistance movement of being an “Iranian tool in the region”.
