Rouhani: Palestinians Will Only Gain Own Rights by Resistance

Local Editor

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani described resistance against the Zionist entity as the only way for the Palestinian nation to obtain its own rights, stressing that all Muslims must support the Palestinians’ right of return and establishment of an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital.

Rouhani’s remarks were made as he met the Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement Ziad al-Nakhala in Tehran on Tuesday evening.

The Iranian President stressed that his country has been a staunch supporter of the Palestinian nation ever since the 1979 Revolution, led by late Imam Khomeini.

Rouhani then praised the Palestinian nation’s 70-year-long steadfastness in the face of Zionists’ expropriation, injustice and occupation, stating that their struggle should continue until the Tel Aviv occupation regime acknowledges their rights.

“The Zionist regime, thanks to support from the new rulers of the White House, is seeking to assert control over the entire region; and Palestine is a part of such a complex plot,” Rouhani noted.

Nakhala, for his part, briefed the Iranian president on the latest developments in the occupied Palestinian lands, and the capabilities of Palestinian resistance groups.

“Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s support and principled policies have played a major role in thwarting attempts aimed at stripping the Palestinian nation of their rights,” he pointed out.

Nakhala also highlighted that the Palestinian nation, irrespective of ongoing pressures and threats, will continue its resistance against the “Israeli” regime until all its rights are recognized.
