Ayatollah Khamenei received Hamas Shura Council chairman Muhammad Ismail Darwish and other members of the group's political bureau in Tehran on Saturday.
“You overcame the Zionist regime and, in fact, the US and by the grace of God, you did not let them achieve any of their goals,” the Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei touched on the suffering of the Gazan people for a year and half of the Israeli war, saying the ultimate result is “the victory of right over wrong”.
“The people of Gaza became an example for all those who have their hearts in resistance," he said.
The Shura Council is the main consultative body of Hamas that elects the resistance movement's politburo. The visit to Tehran by Darwish and his team is part of their regional tour which has already taken them to Egypt and Turkey.
