Palestinian Groups Appreciate Supreme Leader’s Support

The coalition of the Palestinian resistance groups appreciated The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei for his all-out backings and support for the Palestinian nation and resistance groups.

“The coalition thanks the fundamental and ideological positions of Ayatollah Khamenei on the protection of the Palestinian nation’s rights and sanctities,” the coalition said in a statement on Saturday.

The Palestinian groups also lauded the “dominant role” of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the recent victory of resistance groups in the Gaza Strip during the 8-day Israeli invasion of the coastal enclave.

The coalition added that the will of the Palestinian nation, its brave combatants and fighters as well as the support given by the regional resistance front, with Iran at the top of them, had a considerable effect on Gazans’ victory over the Zionist enemy.

The Palestinian resistance groups coalition includes the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, Islamic Jihad movement, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestinian Popular Struggle Front led by Khaled Abdul Majid, Vanguard for the Popular Liberation War, Popular Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Fatah al-intifada movement and Palestinian Liberation Front led by Abu Nidal Al-Ashqar.

In similar remarks, last Wednesday, Hamas appreciated The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s recent remarks about support for the Palestinian nation and resistance groups, and stressed that his statements foiled the plots hatched to sow discord between Iran and Hamas.

The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s righteous appreciation for the unique resistance of Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas, defused the plots hatched by the enemies to sow discord between the group and the Islamic Republic of Iran, spread rumors about the closure of Hamas office in Tehran and raise “unfounded” allegations against Hamas’ leader, the statement read.

During the International Conference of Muslim Scholars and Islamic Awakening held in Tehran last Tuesday, The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei lauded Palestinians for their recent victory over the Zionist regime in the 8-day Israeli war on Gaza, and said the war once again showed the necessity for unity among Muslims.

The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei also praised the “braveries” shown by the Palestinians groups, specially Hamas and Islamic Jihad Movements, in the Gaza war.

The Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said that the Gaza war had important lessons for the Palestinian people and other Muslims, and stated, “The Gaza war showed that if all sides unite with each other and be patient against hardships, God’s promise for emergence of comfort after termination of hardships will come true.”

Israel triggered an 8-day fighting by assassinating the military chief of the ruling Hamas group on November 14 followed by dozens of airstrikes on Gaza.

In response, Palestinian groups fired over 1,500 missiles and rockets at Israel.

Palestinian resistance groups targeted Tel Aviv and areas near Jerusalem for the first time in the history of confrontations between the two sides, launching a rocket attack in a major escalation of hostilities as Israel pressed forward with relentless airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.

Israel called up thousands of reservists and massed troops along the border with Gaza, signaling a ground invasion of the densely populated seaside strip could be imminent.

But the rocket attacks on areas deep in the occupied territories (Israel) frightened the Israeli regime, and made it drop its aggression plans and ask for third party mediation.

Eventually, a Cairo-mediated ceasefire agreement, which took effect on Wednesday November 21, ended the Israeli attacks, which killed more than 165 Palestinians and injured about 1,269 others.
