Hamas has congratulated the Syrian people for "achieving their aspirations for freedom and justice".
The Iran-backed militant group, which has been fighting Israel in Gaza since October 7, 2023, says it hopes Syria's national unity will allow the country to continue its "historic and leading role" in supporting the Palestinian people.
"There are two ways to look at this," says international correspondent Alex Rossi, writes A2 CNN.
“One is support for the Palestinian people more broadly and the Palestinian cause.
And then the other way to look at it is to support Hamas in terms of material, weapons and providing finances for the organization," he said.
Rossi says recent events in Syria have made Hamas even weaker than it was.
He says the fall of the Assad regime marks the fall of a key arm of Iran's 'axis of resistance', writes A2 CNN. (A2 Televizion)
