Hujjat al-Islam Jahanbozorgi referred to Israel’s goal to reach Iran’s borders and said, “Jurisprudentially, jihad is obligatory to regain the rights of the Palestinians from the regime occupying al-Quds.” RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Ahmad Jahanbozorgi, a member of the faculty of the political science department of the Institute of Islamic Culture and Thought, emphasized the need for unity of the Islamic ummah against the regime occupying al-Quds (Jerusalem) [Israel] and said, “In the political world, the unity of the Islamic ummah on the axis of religious commonalities and the lofty goals of the Islamic ummah is obligatory and essential. Imam Khomeyni has made the liberation of al-Quds and Palestine the ideal of the Muslims of the world and the axis of the unity of the Islamic nations.”
Referring to Imam Khomeyni’s guidelines on International al-Quds Day and the liberation of Palestine, he said, “The great architect of the Islamic Revolution said that the standard of the freedom of Palestine and al-Quds must be raised by the Islamic Republic of Iran so that Islamic countries can gather under this standard and all the world’s superpowers will understand that they can’t dominate over the Islamic world.”
Hujjat al-Islam Jahanbozorgi called helping the oppressed of the world is one of the main goals and ideals of Islam and said, “During the World War I, the region of Palestine was placed under the authority of the Jews [by the British] and [after World War II], one million oppressed Muslims were expelled from their homeland and Israel committed many crimes and massacres in this region. Therefore, these crimes can’t be ignored religiously nor intellectually.”
He said, “If the Islamic ummah doesn’t defend Palestine from a political and legal point of view, the plan and objective of the Israelis to expand their territory from the Nile to the Euphrates will be realized and the Zionist regime will reach the borders of Iran and the neighbourhood of the Islamic system and with their aggressive nature, they will disturb Iran’s borders.”
He considered the comprehensive support of the oppressed Palestinian people as one of the strategic goals of Iran’s Islamic system and said, “The sworn enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran must be suppressed in the same land and the Islamic nations must cut off the hands of the Zionist regime from the holy city of al-Quds so that the Deal of the Century and the Greater Middle East Project aren’t realized.”
Hujjat al-Islam Jahanbozorgi said, “God has not found any way for the disbelievers to dominate over the Islamic ummah and the Muslims, and if the Zionist regime oppresses the Muslims, especially the oppressed people of Palestine, during this period, from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, jihad is wajib (obligatory) to reclaim the rights of the Palestinians from the regime occupying al-Quds.”
