Iran Press/ Iran news: Ali Akbar Velayati on Sunday in a telephone call with the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement Ziad Nakhaleh, while reviewing the latest developments in Gaza and offering condolences on the martyrdom of many oppressed Palestinians, especially women and children, noted,” Iranian nation and the supporters of Palestine all over the world are witnessing your courage and bravery and breaking the empty hegemony of the usurping Zionist regime, which is a source of honor, and the Mujahideen and the Palestinian people proved once again that the Zionist regime is the house of the spider and we express congratulations victories.
Velayati emphasized that the Islamic duty of all Muslims in the world is to support the Palestinian people in these critical circumstances and oppressive pressures.
He added: "The Islamic Republic of Iran has performed its duties in the past and under the leadership of the Supreme Leader will continue this path in comprehensive support, and God willing, we will soon pray in the Holy Quds.”
He went on to say: "Some officials affiliated with the West in some Islamic countries, instead of helping the Palestinian people to eradicate this evil phenomenon and liberate Palestine and Holy Quds, under the pressure of Zionists and their oppressive supporters such as the United States forgot that they must learn from the current events and follow the ideals of their nations in support of Quds and Palestine. We are very hopeful for the future and we believe that the divine promise will definitely be realized and the world will witness the liberation of all Palestinian lands and the return of the oppressed people to their homes, and dear Holy Quds and all the occupied Palestinian lands will be liberated.
For his part, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement praised the positions and support of the Islamic Republic of Iran, saying: "The Palestinian people have achieved a great victory today and we were able to make the regime retreat despite all threats, provocations and years of siege and force them to go to the shelters."
"The resistance achieved a great victory and we were able to stand against this regime and defeat the Zionist-American project, so much so that despite all the saber-rattling, it asked us for a ceasefire, but we did not accept the ceasefire and made it a condition that it must give up attacking Al-Aqsa Mosque and allow the people of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood to return to their homes," he said.
