Iranian President Calls for Unity among All Palestinian Groups against Malign ‘israeli’ Regime

Unity and coherence among all Palestinian groups play a pivotal role in achieving victory against the Israeli regime, Rayeesi said in a meeting with new Palestinian Ambassador to Tehran Salam al-Zawawi on Tuesday.

He said unity among all Palestinians would “ultimately fulfill the goal of liberating Quds al-Sharif” and it should not be disrupted by no means.

Rayeesi also warned the Arab countries against the adverse consequences of normalizing ties with the Israeli regime, and said, “The move by some Arab countries to establish relations with the Zionist regime (Israel) will not only fail to ensure their protection and security, but will also double the problems of these states and those of the region and [other] Arab countries.”

Faced with widespread protests by the Palestinian people and groups, the countries that normalized with Israel should know that “their treacherous act is rejected and condemned”, he said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian president stated that support for the Palestinian people and the liberation of Israeli-occupied Quds is among the top issues of the Muslim world, adding, “The Islamic Republic of Iran is a true supporter of the Palestinian people and the liberation of Quds al-Sharif.”

Rayeesi said the Palestinian people are conveying the message of resistance against the Tel Aviv regime and its Western allies, emphasizing, “If the Zionists realize that the Palestinians will stand strong, their calculations will change.”

For her part, Zawawi, who submitted her credentials to the Iranian president, said the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran was definitely a big victory for the Arab and Muslim nations.

She added that some Arab and Muslim courtiers that are rushing toward the normalization of relations with the Israeli regime have in fact their back in the ideals of the Palestinian nation and ignore its rights and the relevant UN resolutions.

Four Arab countries – the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco – agreed to normalize relations with Israel under US-brokered agreements in 2020, when former US President Donald Trump was in office.

Spearheaded by the UAE, the move has sparked widespread condemnations from the Palestinians as well as nations and human rights advocates across the world, especially within the Muslim world.

Palestinians see the accords as a stab in their back and a direct affront to their cause to liberate their lands from Israeli occupation.
