Iran Expected To Increase Influence In Gaza

JERUSALEM [MENL] -- Iran was expected to increase its influence in the Gaza
Strip in wake of the Hamas-Israel war, a report said.
The report by the Jerusalem Institute for Public Affairs said Iran would
seek to expand its stake in the Gaza Strip through international
reconstruction programs. The report by Israeli intelligence analyst Shimon
Shapira said Teheran could repeat its success in 2006, when Iranian agents
directed massive rehabilitation projects in Lebanon following the Hizbullah
war with Israel.
"Iran is already positioning itself for influence in post-war Gaza," the
report, titled "Averting Iranian Influence in Post-War Gaza: The
Rehabilitation Issue," said.
