During this meeting, Imam Khamenei praised the exceptional resistance demonstrated by the Palestinian Resistance forces and the people of Gaza. He emphasized, “The historic patience exhibited by the people of Gaza in the face of the crimes and brutalities committed by the Zionist regime, with full support from the West, is a great phenomenon that has truly dignified Islam and despite the enemy's wishes, it has turned Palestine to the world's first issue.”
While underlining that the massacre of the Gazans and the genocide in this region affects any individual who has a conscience, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution added that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to support the cause of Palestine and the oppressed and resistant people of Gaza.
Imam Khamenei emphasized the importance of having the support of both global public opinion and the public opinion of the Islamic world, particularly the Arab world, for the people of Gaza. He commended the propagational and media activities of the Palestinian Resistance as being very effective and superior to that of the Zionist enemy. He also called for continued efforts to further improve these measures.
The Leader also paid tribute to the memory of Martyr Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy chief of Hamas’ political bureau, who was recently assassinated at the hands of the Zionist regime. “This honorable martyr was a prominent figure whom the Almighty God blessed with martyrdom at the end of his life as a reward for his struggles and efforts,” he remarked.
During the meeting, Mr. Ismail Haniyeh, conveyed his gratitude and appreciation for the support extended by both the populace and government of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards the Palestinian cause especially the people of Gaza. He presented a report on the latest field and political developments surrounding the war on Gaza. “The exemplary patience and steadfastness displayed by the people of Gaza and the Resistance forces over the past six months, stemming from their firm faith, has prevented the Zionist enemy from achieving any of its strategic goals in the Gaza war,” he stated.
The head of Hamas’ political office emphasized that the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation shattered the belief in the unbeatable strength of the Zionist regime, and now, after six months, the Zionist enemy has suffered heavy losses with thousands of its soldiers being killed or injured. “The war in Gaza is a world war and the US governing body is the main accomplice of the Zionist crimes as it is in charge of guiding the military operations of the Zionist regime,” he added.
In his closing remarks to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Mr. Haniyeh underscored that, “Despite all the brutalities, crimes and genocide that continue to take place in Gaza, the people of Gaza and the Resistance forces remain steadfast and will not permit the Zionist enemy to achieve their goals in any way.”
