TEHRAN, May 23 (MNA) – Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that Islamic Ummah achieved victory in the face of the Zionist regime's crimes against the oppressed Palestinians under the auspices of unity and amity.

He congratulates the outstanding victory of the Islamic resistance in the occupied lands and territories as well as in Gaza.

The victory of the Resistance movement showed that if Islamic Ummah steps under the auspices of unity, amity and solidarity and based on the Divine traditions, and relies on the strength of people, it [Islamic Ummah] can achieve victory against the criminal and child-killing regime of Israel despite all its warfare and equipment, he emphasized.

People of Gaza were under the complete siege, he said, adding, “Despite all problems and difficulties facing ahead, they could defeat the Zionist regime and attain victory against the Zionists’ atrocities.”
