Almanar

15/12/2009 Hamas political chief Khaled Meshaal said on Tuesday that the resistance movement is fully committed to the liberation of the Palestinian lands from the Israeli occupation.

Speaking at Imam Sadeq University in Tehran, Meshaal said despite Israel's plots to create division among the Palestinians and its long-running siege on the Gaza Strip, "the ultimate winners will be Palestinians."

Meshaal urged the Palestinians and Muslim nations to practice vigilance in the face of Israel's plots and called for the establishment of an Islamic united front. He said the front should focus on confronting Israel and all those governments who support the regime.

He said that such group would back Iran if the Islamic Republic was attacked by Israel. "All Islamic Resistance groups will form a united front with Iran against Israel if it attacks Iran," he pointed out. "We are all parts of the same body ... We all should fight against the mutual enemy. But how, the leaders will decide based on our capacities," Meshaal explained.

He further said that Israel was a danger for the Middle East region. "God willing a regional resistance has the capacity to confront this danger," he concluded.

Marking the 22nd anniversary of Hamas' foundation on Monday, Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh also said the movement will not back down and will continue resistance until it achieves the freedom of all Palestine.
