GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Despite recent overtures from Hamas, Saudi Arabia is making it clear it has no intention of forging a relationship with the group.

At the annual anti-Iran regime rally July 9, former Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki al-Faisal Al Saud accused Iran of breeding chaos in several Middle Eastern countries by supporting various groups, including Hamas in Palestine.

The Paris rally, organized by the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran (Mujahedeen-e-Khalq), drew more than 100,000 people, including Western political leaders such as Alejo Vidal-Quadras Roca, the former vice president of the European Union, and Philip Crowley, the former US assistant secretary of state.

Faisal said, “Iran is adopting hostile policies and establishing sectarian organizations and irregular armies in the name of Islam to serve the interests of its leadership. Iran's policies, followed by the regime of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini since 1979, are based — from a constitutional standpoint — on the principle of exporting the revolution and violating states’ policy under the slogan of supporting the weak and the oppressed.”
