From PLO Official Says Iran Supported Hamas to Use Force in Gaza:
Yasser Abed Rabbo, a member of the PLO executive committee, on Tuesday accused Iran of supporting the Islamic Hamas movement to use force against the Palestinian Authority in Gaza. “Iran helped Hamas to lead a military coup against the legitimate Palestinian leadership and to control the Gaza Strip.” “Iran supports those hostile powers in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories in order to serve its regional interests at the expense of the peoples and nations of the region,” said Abed Rabbo.
