rule in Gaza, seeking a new approach that disregards the interests of Palestinians. Iran claims to support Palestinian resistance and provide them with weapons, but its true aim is to maintain Palestine as a card for influencing Arab countries. These interventions serve Iran&#8217;s opportunistic agenda, which we, as Arabs and Palestinians, are all too familiar with.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Al-Horani added, &#8220;Iran not only sends weapons to Palestine but also attempted to send arms to Jordan through its proxies, destabilizing Arab countries just as it has done in Iraq.
