The Leader of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in a meeting with senior government and military officials, people from all walks of life, and ambassadors of Islamic countries on Friday, on the occasion of the Eid al-Fitr , emphasized that the Zionist regime is the main cause of division, dispute and discord between Muslim countries.

At this meeting, the Leader emphasized that unity and oneness leads to dignity and good neighbourliness , and that's why it is so important. The Leader pointedly added:  "The problem with the Zionist regime is that it is illegitimate and unlawful;  a regime whose very foundation is based on lies, falsehood, aggression and murder , and with God's grace, and with the efforts and determination of Muslim countries, this regime will be destroyed and consigned to the dustbin of history".

The Leader added:  "History teaches us  that unlawful and illegitimate entities, such as the Zionist regime, will  not last long.  Experience has shown this to be the case".

The foundation of the Israeli regime , and its inception, was based on threats, coercion, killings, and the shameful and deplorable expulsion of the Palestinian nation from its homeland.  Under such circumstances, it is impossible for this regime to be 'legitimized' in any way, using threats, and murder .  The continuing resistance of the Palestinian nation, and the stalled and moribund peace talks, all point to the fact that  "the regime's days are numbered". The Zionist regime cannot last. Israeli efforts to establish diplomatic ties with various Arab regimes, and the so-called "deal of  the century" will not save this illegitimate regime.

A regime which has no historical links to the middle east region, cannot change the geography of the middle east through the use of force and murder. As the Leader of the Islamic revolution pointed out, "the map of Palestine cannot be deleted from the collective memory of the peoples of this region".

Indeed  the Zionists have usurped the land of Palestine, they have expelled the Palestinians from their homeland, and those Palestinians who are still living in occupied Palestine, are being killed, slowly but steadily, by the ruthless and bloodthirsty Zionists.

As Rabbi David Weiss of the orthodox Jewish group, the Neturi Karta , told Press TV in an interview recently:  "The setting up of the state of Israel is against the teachings of the Torah.  The existence of Israel is against Jewish law as stated in the Torah".
