Speaking to media during a Hamas delegation visit to Iran for the funeral of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani:

“[Haniyeh's visit] was made out of loyalty to Hamas’ allies. On the sidelines of the funeral, Haniyeh met with the Iranian state pillars. Iranian officials greatly welcomed the Hamas delegation. Hamas perceives Soleimani’s assassination as an inadmissible crime. We don't rule out [the possibility] that Israel might plan similar idiocy against our leaders. But we are taking precautions.”Adnan Abu Amer, “Haniyeh’s visit signals Hamas seeks stronger Iranian alliance,” Al-Monitor, January 8, 2020, https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2020/01/hamas-haniyeh-visit-iran-funeral-soleimani-alliance-support.html.
