Iran: Israel and the U.S. Will Not Be Able to Eliminate Hamas

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian affirmed that "Israel and the United States will never be able to eliminate the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and that Israel can only free its hostages through a political solution to the conflict." He mentioned that "Israel cannot free the hostages held by Hamas during its bloody attack on October 7 through war," adding that "there is no way to achieve this except through a political solution." These statements were made by Amir Abdollahian during a meeting at the United Nations in Geneva with his counterparts from other Middle Eastern countries.
