Pezeshkian Assures Iran's Support for Palestine and Al-Quds Liberation Unchanged

JAKARTA - Iranian President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian, who will be inaugurated today, confirmed that Iran's support for the Palestinian nation and the struggle to liberate Al-Quds will not change, no matter who rules the country.

He conveyed this when meeting with the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement Ziad al-Nakhalah on Monday night. Ziad came to Iran to participate in the presidential inauguration ceremony.

"Supporting the struggle of the oppressed Palestinian nation will continue with strength and no one can interfere with our will and determination in this matter," said Masoud Pezeshkian, as reported by IRNA on July 30.

He considered this meeting an important message for those who try to create distance between Iran and the resistance groups, especially the heroic and brotherly Palestinian people.

Reaffirming Iran's position and policy towards the oppressed, including the Palestinian nation and the struggle to liberate Al-Quds, Pezeshkian said, "this position will not change with the change of government, but will continue with strength without any obstacles."

He also stressed on making more efforts to create harmony among Islamic countries, increasing pressure on the Zionist regime to stop the crimes and killings in Gaza.

Iran will try diplomatically to explain and highlight as many crimes as possible of the usurping Zionist regime, to fight this criminal regime outside Islamic countries with all independent and freedom-loving countries, and will not leave the Palestinian brothers and sisters alone in the face of the inhumane Zionist crimes, he said.

For his part, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement said that the Palestinian people will never forget Iran's support.

Pointing out that Pezeshkian's meetings with the leaders of the Palestinian resistance groups during the first days of his presidency have an important message for the region and the world, al-Nakhalah said: "The oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza are currently standing up against the cruelty of the regime and its supporters in the region."

"Iran's voice and stance have an important influence in maintaining and preserving their spirit of resistance and stability," he said.

"Today, while all aid delivery routes and even the entry of food and medicine to the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza are closed and weapons are flowing into the hands of the Zionists, the resistance of the Palestinian people and fighters remains beyond all predictions," he added.

Separately, Gaza medical sources confirmed on Monday that at least 39 Gazans were killed and 93 others were injured by Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours, quoted from WAFA.

Medical authorities also confirmed that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli attacks reached 39,363 people and 90,923 others were injured. The majority of the victims were women and children.
