Hossein Amirabdollahian, the foreign minister of Iran, criticized the Zionist regime as the primary source of insecurity and instability in the region.
Amirabdollahian stated in a Monday meeting with the Secretary General of the Islamic Jihad movement, Ziad al-Nakhala, in Tehran, that the issue of Palestine is the central issue of the Islamic world.
Reiterating Iran’s support for the cause of Palestine and sacred al-Quds, as well as the Palestinian nation’s legitimate resistance against the Zionist occupiers, the foreign minister emphasized the importance of resistance group unity in the recent victory during the 5-day conflict in Gaza.
Amirabdollahian stated that the apartheid Zionist regime is the primary cause of insecurity and instability in the region.
He called on Muslim governments to take concerted and effective action to stop the Zionist regime’s inhumane atrocities against the oppressed Palestinian people and to defend the Islamic holy sites in al-Quds.
Nakhala assessed Palestinian and occupied territory events.
The leader of the PIJ also stated that the Palestinian resistance groups are fully prepared and united to act against the Zionist regime and are able to withstand any act of aggression by the Israeli regime in order to achieve significant victories with the aid of the Palestinian people.
Wednesday, in a meeting with Nakhala and his delegation in Tehran, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei stated, “The Zionist adversary is currently in a passive and reactive position. The current circumstance demonstrates that the Resistance organizations and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have identified the correct course of action and are proceeding prudently.”
In addition, the Leader commended the PIJ for “passing the test” during the recent attack on Gaza. He emphasized that the conditions for the Zionist regime are different than they were seventy years ago, and that the Zionist leaders are correct to be concerned that they may not live to see the 80th anniversary of the regime.
