Misbah Azam is joined by Kamran Bokhari to discuss the situation in the Middle East. Hamas, as an entity, cannot independently operate, and it is known that most Arab states do not support it. In fact, the majority of Arab states are strongly opposed to Hamas.

Any coordination with Hamas is primarily diplomatic and focused on humanitarian efforts for the Gaza Strip. Excluding this, nearly all other states oppose Hamas. This is in contrast to Iran, which otherwise has a revisionist agenda and supports Hamas in its goal to establish an Islamist entity by targeting Israel.

Hamas is diverting the legitimate Palestinian struggle for its own purposes. Through these proxies, the Iranian regime is effectively isolating other states, as they lack effective solutions to the issue.

It is misguided to believe that Hamas and its actions will lead to Palestinian self-determination due to various geopolitical factors, including the deep divisions within the Palestinian and Israeli populations regarding the two-state solution.
