Israeli security commentator Yair Goldblatt wrote on X/Twitter that a delegation of senior Hamas officials arrived in Tehran for the funeral ceremonies of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and questioned why the delegation's return flight should not be eliminated. 'I just have a question: why shouldn't their plane on the way back reach its destination?' he wrote.
Yair Goldblatt's post on X adds to a series of comments from the commentator regarding the foreign delegations attending the Tehran funeral ceremonies. As The Zioneer reported, Goldblatt earlier described the late Supreme Leader as 'one of the greatest architects of terror' and criticized the presence of foreign envoys.
The Hamas delegation's arrival was noted by Goldblatt in the context of the broader international presence. The delegation includes senior Hamas officials who traveled to Tehran to express solidarity at the ceremonies.
Goldblatt's rhetorical question — 'why shouldn't their plane on the way back reach its destination?' — is a personal opinion and does not represent official Israeli policy. The comment is unverified speculation.
