Iran Unveils Giant Banner in Tehran Supporting Hamas Leader Khalil al-Hayya
A massive propaganda banner was installed in Palestine Square in central Tehran to mark the election of Khalil al-Hayya as the head of Hamas's political bureau. The banner, prominently displayed on a key building, is part of an ongoing Iranian regime campaign to publicly demonstrate support for Hamas leadership.
The design features Khalil al-Hayya holding a raised weapon, flanked by Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh, all dressed in suits and keffiyehs. The backdrop shows the Jerusalem skyline, emphasizing the group's focus. The banner includes bold inscriptions in Hebrew and Arabic: the Hebrew reads "From Sinwar's generation, the new leader on the ground!" while the Arabic states "Khalil al-Hayya, nightmare of the occupiers!"
This display signals continuity in Hamas leadership and highlights Tehran's sponsorship of the organization amid ongoing regional tensions.
