Assassination of Palestinian Spiritual Leader Will Cause More Hatred against Israel: MP

TEHRAN, March 24 (Mehr News Agency) – A member of the Majlis Legal and Judicial Commission said on Wednesday that the killing of the Palestinian spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin will cause more hatred against the Zionist regime in the world because this terrorist act has won a worldwide condemnation.

Naser Qavami told the Mehr News Agency that martyrdom of the Palestinian spiritual leader will have a very good effect on Palestinian people’s continued resistance against Zionist occupation.

 

As an intelligent, experienced and insightful leader Yassin was an influential figure in occupied territories and his martyrdom would exacerbate the resistance and fury against Zionist regime, Qavami noted.

 

His martyrdom is a great loss for the oppressed Palestinian people and intifada (uprising) because the people have lost a great leader and this will cause a great pain and suffering among the Palestinian people, the reformist parliamentarian argued;  however, he said, the event will make people more determined in their struggle against Zionist oppression.

 

Even though the Palestinians have lost a great leader it is the Zionist regime which will suffer more in the long run and the Zionist war criminals cannot remain safe from the flames of intifada, the lawmaker asserted.

 

Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi, the new leader of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas, on Wednesday pledged all-out revenge on Israel for killing greatly-respected Palestinian spiritual leader.

   

Rantissi and other Hamas officials, including overall leader Khaled Meshaal, also stressed the resistance group had no plans to take its fight beyond Israel and the Palestinian territories.
