Hamas not concerned with Palestine but serves as “tool” for Iran’s plan to “export the Islamic revolution” – top Fatah official

Senior Fatah official Bassem Al-Tamimi: "The Hamas Movement is connected to projects outside the framework of the Palestinian national project. It is an Islamic movement and not a Palestinian national liberation movement. This is the main problem on everything concerning Hamas. It has no independent Palestinian national decision on everything concerning the Palestinian project. It is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood movement and the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, and therefore it receives its instructions in one way or another from this organization. It has alliances based on exporting the Islamic revolution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, such that it has now come to be considered one of the tools of this Iranian plan in the region."
