Hillary Clinton said to the reporters that Iran intended to interfere with the internal affairs at the area by giving funds to terrorism, whether it’s Hizbollah, Hamas or other proxies. She said that Arab leaders present at the recent Gaza donor conference in Egypt complained about the Iran’s role in the region. Ms. Clinton has seen West Asia in the aftermath of the Gaza war where the Palestinian group Hamas behind by Iran, Syria and the Lebanese group Hizbollah battled U.S.-armed Israel for twenty two days.
In the Gaza donors conference at the Egyptian resort of Sharm-el Sheikh, Washington decided to re-direct its aid to the Palestinian Authority which is led by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas or to the United Nations for the reconstruction of Gaza. U.S. officials insisted that funds shall not be handed over to Hamas, controlling Gaza. The U.S.-backed Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas accused Iran of interference in Palestinian issues. They i.e the Iranians interfere only to deep the rift between Palestinians, he said when Ms. Clinton was with him. In the conference, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei insisted that Hamas must be the focus of the Gaza reconstruction building exercise.
