Very cool of Iran to supply the West Bank with the means to resist their terrorist israeli occupiers.
Well, the people receiving it may not see it that way. FTA:
For years, Iran’s leaders have declared the necessity of arming Palestinian fighters in the occupied West Bank. Iran has long supplied weapons for attacking Israel to militants elsewhere in the region, members of its so-called Axis of Resistance, including its two primary Palestinian allies in Gaza, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
…
Fatah, the Palestinian faction that controls the Palestinian Authority and with it much of the West Bank, accused Iran last week of trying to “exploit” Palestinians for its own means by spreading chaos in the territory. In a statement, Fatah said it would not allow “our sacred cause and the blood of our people to be exploited” by Iran.

A key component of Iran’s strategy in its neighborhood has been the cultivation of an “axis of resistance,” a loose network of regional militias with discrete organizational structures, overlapping interests, and ties to Iran’s security and religious establishments. The Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, maintained that exporting the revolution was necessary for its survival, arguing that if the theocracy remained “in an enclosed environment” it would “definitely face defeat.” Determined to spark a wider wave of Islamist-led upheavals against secular monarchies and republics in the Middle East, Khomeini and his acolytes developed an infrastructure dedicated to toppling the status quo across the Muslim world.
…
With its cultivation of Hezbollah as a template, Iran then invested an enormous amount of effort and resources in cultivating militant groups across the Middle East. The support it has given to Palestinian militant groups, especially Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas, paid tremendous dividends over subsequent decades, as did its aid to Shiite opponents of Saddam in Iraq. These relationships provided the springboard for Iranian influence at key turning points for regional stability. In the 1990s, PIJ terrorist attacks disrupted the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and nudged Israeli politics rightward. After the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, Tehran’s patronage of the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council and the Dawa Party, both significant Shiite factions, positioned Iran as the most influential player in Iraq’s contentious postwar polity.
Everyone on the west bank hates Fatah and the PA. They are Israeli plants.
Odd, I haven’t heard that, but regardless I’m not sure how it changes what was said in the article.
It’s common knowledge. Hamas won in Gaza because their opposition was basically israel. Doesn’t change much but just so you know PA and Fatah aren’t to be taken seriously. They work together with these Israeli terrorists.

The Central Command of the US Armed Forces announced that it had handed over to Ukraine the weapons seized from four Iranian ships, which were supposed to be delivered to Iranian proxy forces
Among the weapons:
▪️more than 5,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles; ▪️sniper rifles, hand grenade launchers; ▪️more than half a million rounds of caliber 7.62.
This comes as no surprise, and now Israeli overreactions are not even making Iran seem the bad guy it is and should be seen as.
The anti-democratic bullies of the world are all rising together to create unrest and topple Democracies. This is a much bigger problem than just the middle East.
You mean the illegal Israeli military occupation and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank?
