Foreign relations of Hamas
Hamas, which as of 2023 had been the governing authority of the Gaza Strip, has foreign relations that spans various countries around the world. As of 2023, Mousa Abu Marzook is the group's head of international relations office.
Egypt under Mohamed Morsi who was in power from 2011 to 2013, supported Hamas.
Hamas sent an official delegation to South Africa for the 10th anniversary of the death of Nelson Mandela, joining African National Congress minister Lindiwe Zulu at a wreath-laying event on 5 December 2023.
Sudan under President Omar al-Bashir was a major supporter and provided Hamas its rockets.
The relations between Venezuela and Hamas have become closer under the presidencies of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.
In early 2025, the US' Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, Adam Boehler, talked directly with Hamas in an attempt to secure the release of American hostages. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters that the talks were a "one-off situation in which our special envoy for hostages, whose job it is to get people released, had an opportunity to talk directly to someone who has control over these people and was given permission and encouraged to do so. He did so."
After Hamas' victory in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, China called the group the elected representatives of the Palestinian people. The PRC invited the Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud al-Zahar to attend the China-Arab Cooperation Forum in June 2006 ignoring protests by both the United States and Israel but received praise from Mahmoud Abbas.
On 19 March 2024, Chinese Foreign Ministry ambassador Wang Kejian met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar, where they "exchanged views on the Gaza conflict and other issues". Following talks mediated by China, on 23 July 2024, Palestinian factions including Hamas and Fatah reached an agreement to end their divisions and form an interim unity government, which they announced in the Beijing Declaration.
