Khalil al-Hayya is a member of the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas. Since late 2024, he has been the deputy chief of Hamas's political bureau and is currently part of the organization's leadership.
"You defeated the Zionist regime [Israel], which was, in fact, America's defeat," Khamenei, whose country supports Hamas in its war with Israel, told the Palestinian delegation.
The al-Qassam Brigades field leadership has committed to providing Hayya with its full support, Al Araby Al Jadeed cited the Hamas official as saying.
