Iranian foreign minister meets Hamas leaders

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, has met senior Hamas leaders in Doha on Saturday.

The Hamas delegation was headed by the group's Leadership Council chair, Muhammad Darwish.

The council is comprised of five senior Hamas members, and has led the organisation since Israel killed former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza.

This comes as Qatar announced it was restarting its role as mediator in negotiations between Hamas and Israel, after a one-month pause.
