TEHRAN – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei told Islamic Jihad Secretary General Ziyad al-Nakhalah here Wednesday that the current situation of the Zionist regime is very different compared to 70 years ago.
“Today, the Zionist enemy is in a passive and reactive position. The present situation shows that the resistance groups and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have rightly identified the path and are wisely proceeding along,” he said.
The Leader said it is not possible to achieve big goals until necessary risks are taken.
“Today, by the grace of God, the strength and credibility of the Palestinian resistance groups and the Islamic Jihad are increasing. The recent defeat of the Zionist regime in the five-day war proves this,” he said.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the Islamic Jihad of Palestine passed the test well in the last month battle of Gaza, which broke out with the occupying regime’s assassination of the resistance group’s commanders.
“The conditions for the Zionist regime today have changed compared to seventy years ago, and the Zionist leaders have the right to worry about not seeing the regime’s 80th anniversary.”
The Leader said Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian resistance groups have found the main key to fighting the Zionist regime.
“The growing power of the resistance groups in the West Bank is the key to bringing the Zionist enemy to its knees, and this path must continue,” he said.
The Leader expressed his gratitude and appreciation at measures taken by the Palestinian resistance groups to unite their efforts on the political arena and the battlefield, calling it very important. Ayatollah Khamenei also emphasized the Islamic Republic of Iran’s continued support for the Palestinian people and fighters.
Nakhalah thanked the Islamic Republic for its continued support of the Palestinian people and their resistance.
He gave a report on the recent developments in Occupied Palestine, especially the defeat of the Zionist regime in the five-day war on Gaza.
“Islamic Jihad came out from the Gaza war with a head held high. We hope that we will soon witness the ultimate victory and liberation of Al-Quds,” Nakhalah added.
