Residents of Deir al-Balah complain Ebrahim Raisi did not call for a ceasefire in war with Israel, ‘never stood by us’ and so ‘means nothing to us and nothing to Gaza’
Gazans on Monday spared little thought for Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, killed in a helicopter crash, saying he had failed to ease the suffering in the war-torn Palestinian territory.
Raisi was confirmed dead on Monday after search and rescue teams found the remains of his helicopter, which crashed Sunday in a fog-shrouded western mountain region of Iran.
Palestinian terror group Hamas, which runs the Gaza Strip and receives financial and military support from Iran, paid tribute to Raisi’s “support for the Palestinian resistance, and tireless efforts in solidarity” with Palestinians.
