Iran’s Top Lawmaker: Resistance Front to Cooperate with Palestinians in Liberation of Al-Quds

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in a phone conversation with Head of Hamas’ Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh expressed confidence that al-Quds will be liberated by the Palestinians in cooperation with the resistance front.

During the conversation on Wednesday, Larijani termed the so-called peace plan of ‘Deal of the Century’ as a blatant treason and betrayal towards the oppressed Palestinian people and insult to all Muslims in the world.

The so-called peace plan will doom to failure, he said, adding, “Al-Quds will undoubtedly be liberated under the auspices of years-long struggle of Palestinian people against Israeli regime in cooperation and collaboration of Axis of Resistance.”

Larijani expressed his deep regret over the policy adopted by some governments of the Islamic countries against the Zionist regime, and stated, “Trump-proposed so-called ‘Deal of Century’ will not create any hurdle in the high spirit of Palestinian fighters and also Axis of Resistance and Islamic Ummah will support the oppressed Palestinian nation wholeheartedly.”

He emphasized the need for convergence of Islamic countries for supporting the rights of Palestinian people, and added, “Undoubtedly, the strategic mistake committed by US President Trump and Zionist regime will double support of the Islamic countries from Palestine.”

Haniyeh, for his part, hailed unsparing and perpetual support of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Iranian government from the oppressed people of Palestine, and said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has always been at the forefront of supporting Palestinian people and Axis of Resistance and this issue has always been a source of encouragement among Palestinians.”

US President Donald Trump announced his so-called “Deal of the Century” peace plan together with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House on Tuesday, giving Israel full control of the settlements and Jerusalem as its undivided capital. The plan was deplored and rejected across the world, including the UN and the Muslim world.

Late on Tuesday, the Iranian Foreign Ministry lashed out at Trump’s so-called “Deal of the century” as a great betrayal to the causes of the Palestinians and all Muslim nations of the world, urging all Islamic countries to get united, regardless of differences and disagreements, to fight against the “treason of the century”.

“The Zionist regime is an occupying regime and the only solution to solve the Palestinian crisis is a referendum among all main residents of the Palestinian land and such vicious plans are doomed to failure,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Abbas Mousavi said.

He called on all free nations and governments in the region and across the world to counter Trump’s disgraceful scheme.
