Tehran, YJC. Friday preacher says Gaza is still in Palestinian hands only because of support from Iran.
Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami who was speaking to thousands of
fasting prayers who had come to the streets of Tehran to demonstrate on the
occasion of the Quds day said "Iran’s axis for unity is the matter of Palestine
and Gaza and showing support for the oppressed people of Palestine as well as
showing opposition to the Zionist regime.”
"This is the way and the path of the Iranian nation. Those who
chanted ‘neither Gaza, nor Lebanon’ in the 2009 sedition were a bunch cut loose
from the nation of Iran. They will continue to be cut away from the Iranian nation
if they still hold that kind of thought,” the preacher stated.
Khatami further stated "The people of Iran support the
people of Palestine both in demonstrations and in showing the support. As the
deputy commander of the Islamic Jihad Movement the Palestinians owe from their
bread to their bullets to the Iranian nation. If there was not such support by
the Islamic Iran the Zionist regime must have occupied the entire Gaza by now. The
Zionist interior ministry had following the war said that the order to occupy
all of Gaza had been issued. But you can see that they have been grounded. This
means that the Islamic Iran has paid its debt to Palestine.”
He further exclaimed "The Zionist regime has to be
demolished and one has to replaced through referendum. The Iranian nations approach
to the Palestinian issue is that a government must raise to power via the votes
of those who inhabit the occupied lands. Iran’s motto is that every Palestinian
must have a vote.”
