Addressing the International Conference of Al-Aqsa Strom and Awakening of Huaman Conscience on Monday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said, "Today, one of the most important issues of the Islamic Ummah is the issue of Palestine."
According to Imam Khomeini (RA), the issue of Palestine is the first issue of the Islamic world and the liberty of the holy Al-Quds is the priority of the Islamic world, he added.
Today, Palestine has become the first issue of humanity and all the free people of the world have realized the oppression and authority of the Palestinians, Raeisi said.
The arrogant powers, backed by the Americans, have occupied Palestine for the past 75 years, and they have committed many atrocities against the Palestinian people and the people of the region, he said.
There are 2 opinions on the issue of Palestine; One is standing and resisting and the other is surrendering to this oppression, he said, adding that the Palestinian people have always chosen to stand up against oppression.
Today, Palestine is victorious, and the Zionist regime and their allies are the losers, he noted.
The resistance against the Israeli regime bore fruit in the 2-Day, 22-Day, 33-Day and 100-Day wars, as Palestine has emerged victorious and the Zionist regime and its allies have bitten the dust, the Iranian president added.
“With their initiative, the Palestinians have raised the level of war from a fight using stones to a war using missiles and drones. We have also declared that we will support Palestine and the resistance groups,” Raisi underlined.
In remarks in October 2023, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei slammed the Zionist regime as a cancer that will be eliminated by the Palestinians and regional resistance forces, warning the governments seeking to normalize ties with Israel that they are backing the wrong horse.
