Jalili:Liberation of Palestine among goals of Islamic awakening

Secretary of Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) , Saeed Jalili said on Monday that liberation of Palestine is among goals of the Islamic awakening.

Jalili made the remark in a meeting with the Hamas Political Bureau Chief Khaled Mashal in Tehran on Monday.

In the meeting, Jalili highlighted the anti-Zionist and anti-US aspects of revolutionary movements in the region and said the days of the Zionist regime are now numbered.

This is a historical opportunity for the Palestinian people to attain their legal and legitimate rights that is liberation of their motherland, he said.

The issue of Palestine and resistance is now regarded as an international issue, he said, adding that freedom of Palestine should be considered as the pivotal axis of Islamic awakening in different countries which gives them more courage in their struggle with global arrogance, he pointed out.

Recent speech delivered by the US President Barak Obama at the UN headquarters indicates the depth of dependency of the US on the Zionist lobby, Jalili said.

The US and its allies try to defuse waves of protests against their interests as well as global arrogance, he said.

Mashal, for his part, thanked the Islamic Republic of Iran for hosting the Fifth International Conference on Palestinian Intifada and the country’s support for Palestine and described the move as very significant and timely.

Following collapse of the Zionist regime’s aliens in the region and wave of Islamic awakening, the regime has been totally isolated, he said.

He strongly ruled out any plan or proposal which might recognize the Zionist regime and underlined the need to fully back the legitimate rights of the Palestinian nation and continuation of resistance.
