Hamas Joins Iranian Plan to Foil Arabs' Anti-Corruption Protests
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - Iran has enlisted Khaled Masha'al, former head of the "political bureau" of Hamas, to warn Arabs about the consequences of their demands for reform and democracy. Iran's leaders see Arab demands for reform as damaging Tehran's effort to dominate Arab countries and prepare for war against Israel. Speaking at the "Jerusalem Pioneers Conference" in Turkey this week, Masha'al expressed concern that the anti-corruption protests would divert Arab attention from the Palestinian issue.
