Resistance only way to realize Palestinian cause: Iranian speaker

TEHRAN,Jan.19(MNA) – Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said that resistance against the Zionist regime is the only way to realize the cause of the Palestinian nation. Larijani made the remarks during a meeting with Emad al-Alami, a member of Hamas Political Bureau, in Tehran on Wednesday. “The Palestinian cause and the liberation of the occupied territories could be achieved only through resistance and resilience,” he said, adding that world powers will never help liberate the Palestinian territories. He also said that the Palestinian cause and defending the Palestinian people against the Zionist regime’s tyrannical actions have always been a major concern for the Islamic Republic. In addition, he said that supporting the Palestinian cause is a religious and Islamic obligation, so Iran has always been ready to assist Palestinian combatants and the axis of resistance in their campaign against the Zionist regime. Alami thanked Iran for supporting the Palestinian nation and said that the Islamic Republic has always backed the Palestinians in hard times and had a large share in the Palestinian people’s victories against the Zionist regime. He also said that Hamas will never abandon resistance against the Zionist regime and believes that Jihad is the only way to liberate the Palestinian territories.
