Hamas leader and Iranian minister billed as speakers at Al Jazeera conference
The Palestinian Cause and the Regional Balance of Power in the Context of an Emerging Multipolar World forum takes place next month in Doha
Al Jazeera Media Network has confirmed that Iran’s foreign minister and a senior Hamas leader will speak at a conference in Doha next month.
Keynote speakers billed to speak at the event, titled The Palestinian Cause and the Regional Balance of Power in the Context of an Emerging Multipolar World include Abbas Araghchi, who is the foreign minister for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Also among the listed speakers is Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal, head of the terrorist group abroad.
Meshaal formerly served as the group’s leader after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and Yahya Sinwar, but now lives in Qatar. He has survived an assassination attempt by Israel.
Another keynote speaker is Burhanettin Duran, who serves as head of Turkey’s Directorate of Communications and is a key ally of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The forum takes place from 7 to 9 February and is advertised as being mainly focused on Palestinian resistance, using social media to shift perceptions on “the genocide against Palestinians,” and on the advancement of Arab states.
