Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will travel to Tehran on Tuesday to meet Iranian officials, a day after the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian group, Iran's official Press TV reported.
Iran has backed Hamas in the nearly six-month war with Israel that has killed more than 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
It will be Haniyeh's second visit to Iran since the outbreak of the war on Oct. 7.
Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani called Monday's resolution a "positive step".
"A more important step is effective action for its implementation," said Kanaani.
Hamas welcomed the U.N. resolution but said the ceasefire needs to be permanent.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is expected to call at a meeting in Istanbul on Monday for arrangements to be made as soon as possible to ensure the security and administration of Gaza by Palestinians, a foreign ministry source said on Sunday.
The partial remains of three bodies in Gaza handed over to Israel overnight did not belong to any of the hostages held in the Palestinian territory, Israeli media reported on Saturday.
Foreign ministers from several Muslim-majority countries will convene in Istanbul on Monday to discuss the current Gaza ceasefire and potential next steps, including the establishment of a "stability force," Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced on Friday during a press conference in Ankara.
