RNA - "The Holy Qods will be the capital of the Palestinian state despite the US attempts to distort this reality," Ayatollah Khamenei said on Thursday.
"God willing, Palestine will be liberated from the grip of the enemies and America and its stooges will not be able to a damn thing via-a-vis truth and the divine tradition,” the Supreme Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei condemned Israel’s latest bloodshed in Gaza, which saw the Tek Aviv regime’s forces killing over 60 Palestinian protesters and wounding more than 2,700 others on May 14.
As the bloodshed was underway, the US relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv to the Holy Qods after Washington announced it was recognizing the occupied Palestinian city as the “capital” of Israel.
"Under such circumstances, some complain why the US does not take a stance against Israel. This is while America and many Western governments are complicit in these crimes,” the Supreme Leader said.
According to Fars News Agancy, Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks came on the eve of an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul, Turkey.
President Hassan Rouhani has called on OIC members to seize the opportunity at the Istanbul event and give a “due response” to the Zionist regime over its latest massacre of Palestinians.
