Iranian Supreme Leader's top Aide for International Affairs Ali Akbar Velayati in a meeting with senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar underlined that resistance is the only way to confront Israel's expansionism and excessive demands. RNA - "The only way to get rid of the Zionists and enemies' excessive demands and plots is resistance and it is clear that the resistance front is expanding and strengthening every day," Velayati said during the meeting in Tehran on Sunday.
He added that the Palestinian nation has gained valuable victories over the Zionists and their supporters which, he said, should give this major lesson to Israel that they should avoid thinking of another aggression.
Velayati also blasted certain Arab countries for keeping silent on Israeli crimes against Palestinians, saying that their policies are affected by other (western) states.
Iran has always supported the Palestinian people and denounced Israeli occupation of their lands.
In relevant remarks on Saturday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said the criminal acts of Israel against Palestinians must be heard by the entire world, denouncing the brutalities of Tel Aviv to crack down on the oppressed Palestinian nation.
“Supporting the deprived people of Palestine is a responsibility for every conscientious human,” Larijani said in a meeting with a visiting group of Palestinian MPs.
Referring to the crimes committed by the “Zionist regime”, specially in the Gaza Strip, Larijani pointed out "the criminal acts of this regime must be heard by the entire world”.
He added that disclosing and revealing the regime’s crimes against the deprived people of Palestine would provide more support to the Palestinian cause.
“I hope that all regional countries and the whole world would further increase their support for Palestinian resistance in order for them to be strengthened,” the Iranian top legislator underlined.
In the meeting, the head of the Palestinian parliamentary group, Mahmoud al-Zahar, lauded the Islamic Republic of Iran, saying "al-Quds issue brings together the freedom-seeking people of the whole world, and I must thank the Islamic Republic's positions towards the Palestinian people here”.
"Iran's stances at the United Nations on US-drafted anti-Palestinian resolutions is also praiseworthy," al-Zahar pointed out.
