RAMALLAH [MENL] -- Iran has become a key player in the Fatah-Hamas militia war in the Palestinian Authority.

Leading Hamas officials have been gathering in Damascus and Teheran to discuss with Iranian officials the Hamas-led government and its war with Fatah. Iran has been a leading contributor to Hamas's military infrastructure.

"Iran receives a major part of its funding and weapons expertise from Iran," a Western diplomatic source said. "All major decisions by Hamas are first discussed with Iran."

On Tuesday, PA Interior Minister Said Siyam arrived in Teheran to confer with Iranian officials on Palestinian security issues. Siyam said he would also focus on attempts to expand PA relations with Iran.
