Hamas leader greeted as head of state by Lebanese officials

Iran's Mehr News writes:

The head of Hamas' political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, has travelled to Lebanon.

Heading a high-ranking Hamas delegation, Haniyeh arrived in Beirut on Sunday afternoon.

According to an earlier statement by the Hamas bureau in Lebanon, during the visit, Haniyeh will meet with the leaders of the three branches of the Lebanese government, senior Lebanese officials as well as the leaders of Palestinian groups.

Ramallah News adds that Haniyeh met with the "Presidency of the Republic, the Presidency of Parliament and the Presidency of the Government." 

It is clear that Haniyeh is being treated as a national leader by the Lebanese government.

Which makes one wonder why the world - including the US - has been sending money to bolster the Lebanese Army.
