In response to an earlier letter from Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political
bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas, Ayatollah Khamenei on
Wednesday reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering support for Palestine and Palestinian
fighters, and noted that strengthening the resistance front in the Muslim world
and intensifying the fight against the occupying regime of Israel and its
supporters were the solution to the Palestinian issue.
"The path of negotiation with the deceitful, liar and usurper [Zionist] regime
is a big unforgivable mistake that will delay victory for the Palestinian nation
and will bring about nothing but loss for the oppressed nation,” the Leader
said.
"Undoubtedly, fighting and resistance are the only way out for the oppressed
Palestine and the sole remedy for healing the wounds of this brave and proud
nation,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
The Leader said the Islamic Republic felt duty-bound to fully support Palestine.
Ayatollah Khamenei also underlined the need for the Islamic unity in the face of
recent Zionist atrocities against Palestinians.
"Today, a return to dignity and power of the Islamic Ummah exclusively hinges on
resistance against the global arrogance and its malicious plots,” the Leader
said, noting that the Palestinian issue was the top priority of the Muslim
world.
The nations and especially the zealous youths in the Muslim and Arab countries
as well as the states that feel responsible for Palestine must take this great
task very seriously and force the enemy to retreat to the point of demolition
through their epic and wise fight, the Leader said.
This came amid Israel’s recent killings of more than a dozen Palestinian
protesters in the besieged Gaza Strip.
On March 30, Gazans marched to the fence with the occupied lands at the start of
a six-week protest, dubbed "The Great March of Return,” demanding the right to
return for Palestinians driven out of their homeland.
The first day of the demonstrations turned violent after Israeli forces used
tear gas and live fire against the Palestinians, killing 18 and injuring almost
1,500 others.
Prior to the mass demonstration, the Israeli military had deployed special
forces, including 100 snipers to Gaza’s border, and authorized its forces to
open fire on unarmed protesters.
Multiple human rights organizations have come out in full condemnation of
Israel’s violent raids on the civilian mass protests in the besieged sliver.
