TEHRAN (FNA)- Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's Deputy and Hamas
Foreign Minister Mohammed Awad confirmed that Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad has invited Haniyeh for a visit to Iran.

Speaking to FNA, Awad said that Haniyeh received Ahmadinejad's invitation
letter on Tuesday.

He stressed the significance of Haniyeh's upcoming visit to Iran, and said
Haniyeh will review many issues during the trip.

As regards the details of Ahmadinejad's letter, Awad said that the Iranian
president has also stressed the necessity for efforts to break the Gaza
blockage and support the Palestinian nation.

President Ahmadinejad also reiterated Iran's continued support for the
oppressed Palestinian nation and confrontation with the Zionist regime's
bullying behavior.

Hamas Prime Minister, for the first time since 2007, left the Gaza Strip
late in December on a tour that took him to several Arab and Islamic
countries.

Ahmadinejad had earlier in a telephone conversation with Haniyeh
congratulated Palestinians on their victory in the prisoners swap deal with
Israel which, he described as, a fruit of strong and continued resistance
against the Zionist regime.
