The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei says occupied Palestine will be liberated only through resistance and struggles of Palestinian groups, provided that they maintain their unity.
In a meeting with the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, Ramadan Abdullah Shalah, in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei praised the Palestinians’ motivations, which are rooted in their faith and the spirit of resistance, adding, “The only way to liberate the holy city of al-Quds is struggle and resistance, and other solutions are useless and futile.”
Describing the US as “the most arrogant [power] and the Great Evil,” the Leader said Washington is the main reason behind the current problems in the region.
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the interference of certain regional countries in creating tensions, noting that they seek to undermine the Palestinian issue or force it to sink into oblivion.
The Leader reaffirmed Iran’s support for the Palestinian nation and said, “Despite being engaged in certain regional issues, the Islamic Republic has always announced explicitly that Palestine is the number one issue in the Muslim world and has fulfilled its obligations in this regard.”
