TEHRAN, Dec. 23 (MNA) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei says he is confident the Palestinian people will triumph and Israel will be eradicated from the face of the earth.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei received a group of people from the provinces of Kerman and Khuzestan on Saturday morning.

The meeting was held at Imam Khomeini (ra) Hussainiyah with the participation of thousands of Iranians from Khuzestan and Kerman.

“Do not doubt that the victory is with the righteous front. Do not doubt that the usurping Zionist regime will be eradicated from earth,” he said.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the veil has fallen from the face of Western civilization in the wake of the Israeli war on Gaza, including after the US "shamelessly" vetoed the UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire.

"The great victory of the Palestinian nation is that they discredited the West and America and their false claims of human rights," the Leader said.

"Today, no one in the world makes a difference between the Zionist regime, and America and England," he added.

Ayatollah Khamenei also said the solution to Iran's problems is elections, warning against certain efforts to discourage people from the ballot boxes.

The Leader touched on the concept of the Islamic Republic, explaining that the words “Islamic” and “Republic” are both related to elections.  

With Iran facing parliamentary and Experts Assembly elections in about two months, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Iranian people “should be prepared for these two important elections in the best possible way”.

Ayatollah Khamenei said scholars, university professors, seminary instructors, radio and television, journalists, young people and people within their families have a duty to invite people to participate in the elections.
