Palestinian Resistance Thanks Imam Khamenei for His Firm, Supportive Stance

By Staff, Agencies

Several Palestinian resistance groups have written separate letters to Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, thanking him for his firm stances on supporting the cause of Palestine, which were expressed in His Eminence’s speech on the occasion of International Quds Day.

In their letters and messages on Monday, five Palestinian resistance groups and movements lauded the position taken by the Islamic Republic and Imam Khamenei on supporting the resistance of the Palestinian people and rejecting the recognition of the Zionist regime.

The groups stressed their resolve to continue anti-‘Israel’ resistance until the final freedom of al-Quds, noting that statements made by Imam Khamenei during his Quds Day speech delineate the roadmap to the liberation of Palestine.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP], Fatah al-Intifada group, Palestinian Popular Struggle Front and the Palestinian Forces Coalition commended the role of Iran as the axis of unity and resistance among Muslim countries.

They also hailed the role of Iran's top anti-terror commander, Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated alongside his companions in a US drone strike in Iraq in January 2020, in keeping the Palestinian cause alive.

In his address on the occasion of the International Quds Day, Imam Khamenei underscored that ‘Israel’ is not a ‘country’ but a terrorist base against the people of Palestine and other Muslim nations.

"Since the first day, the Zionists turned the usurped Palestine into a terrorist base. ‘Israel’ is not a country, rather it is a terrorist camp against the Palestinian nation and other Muslim nations," Imam Khamenei said.

His Eminence added that the issue of Palestine continues to be the most important and active issue for the Islamic Ummah collectively.

"The policies of the oppressive and cruel capitalism have driven a people out of their homes, their homeland and their ancestral roots and instead, it has installed a terrorist regime and has housed a foreign people therein," Imam Khamenei said.

"Fighting against this despotic regime is fighting against oppression and terrorism. And this is a collective responsibility," the Leader added.
