Fatah: Iran paid Hamas to block Palestinian deal
None
Iran paid Hamas to block a deal with the rival Fatah movement that would have ended a five-year rift between the two main Palestinian factions, a Fatah spokesman said on Tuesday.
He said Tehran recently resumed financial aid to Hamas which it had suspended six months ago over the Palestinian movement's failure to back their mutual ally President Bashar al-Assad of Syria in his military campaign to crush dissent. (Reuters)
