TEHRAN (FNA)- Palestinian Ambassador to Tehran Salah al-Zawawi rapped the western powers for arming the Zionist regime with the most modern weapons to be used against the innocent Gaza people, but meantime stressed that collapse of the Israeli regime has just started.
“The US and the western countries have created a fake regime in Palestine to get rid of it and have supplied it with the most advanced weapons and are seeking to create an Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates,” Zawawi said, addressing a gathering in Tehran in support of the Gaza people on Tuesday.
“Israel’s annihilation has begun and the new generation in Iran will certainly witness our victory over Israel,” he underlined.
Elsewhere, Zawawi referred to the crimes committed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group in Iraq, and said, “The ISIL plans to impair Islam’s face, while it has no relations with Islam; they have rather embarked on destroying Islam step by step.”
Pro-Palestinian protesters have been staging rallies worldwide against the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of protesters have stayed out in the streets in Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, New York, Chile and other countries in the past few weeks, condemning Israel’s offensive on Gaza Strip that has killed more than 1,940 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and injured over 11,000 in over one month.
On Monday, Representative of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Hamas Movement in Tehran Khaled Al-Qadoumi also told a similar gathering in support of the people in Gaza that Palestinians should continue their armed struggle against Tel Aviv.
“The only mechanism for liberating Palestine is resistance and we have no option other than supporting the resistance,” Al-Qadoumi said, addressing a conference on Gaza in Tehran on Monday.
He reiterated that Hamas will not talk to those who are willing to make compromise and have negotiations with Israel.
Al-Qadoumi pointed to the resistance of Palestinian groups against Israel, and said, “We hope to be able to make our missiles more advanced with the help of the knowledgeable Iranians.”
He noted that what has happened in Gaza is a full-fledged human tragedy, and said, “The places that have been targeted by the Zionist regime were protected areas according to the international law that Israel should not have targeted them.”
Al-Qadoumi pointed to the reason for accepting the 72-hour truce with Israel by Hamas, and said, “One of the reasons for accepting the truce by Hamas was enabling us to reopen ways for transferring the injured Palestinians and achieving our other goals.”
On Sunday, Hamas Chief Khalid Mashaal said in an interview in Doha that a lasting truce must lead to the lifting by Israel of its blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Mashaal noted that the 72-hour ceasefire Hamas reached with Israel on Sunday “is one of the ways or tactics to ensure successful negotiations or to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza”.
He said that the final “goal we insist on is having the demands of Palestinians met and the Gaza Strip exist without a blockade”.
“We insist on this goal. In the case of Israeli procrastination or continued aggression, Hamas is ready with other Palestinian factions to resist on ground and politically and… to face all possibilities,” Mashaal added.
