Muslims demand countering Israeli crimes: Raeisi
IRNA – Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi said Sunday countering Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people is the demand of all Muslim nations.
He made the remarks after receiving the credentials of new Turkish Ambassador Hijabi Kirlanqich in Tehran.
Raeisi said that more cooperation among the Islamic countries is needed to stop Israeli atrocities.
Over the past months, Israel has ramped up attacks on Palestinian towns and cities in the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip. As a result of these attacks, dozens of Palestinians have lost their lives and many others have been arrested.
Most of the raids have focused on Nablus and Jenin, where Israeli forces have been trying to stifle a growing Palestinian resistance against occupation.
Since the start of the fasting month of Ramadan, Israeli has also imposed strict restrictions on the entry and exit of Palestinians to and from the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Al-Quds.
Enemy ‘can be defeated’ despite apparent might: Leader

Ayatollah Khamenei also referred to the two wars that the United States waged in the east and west of Iran about two decades ago, asserting that “Americans had interests in Iraq and Afghanistan, but their end goal was Islamic Iran, and, due to the unwavering foundations of the Islamic Revolution, they failed in these cases and in their ultimate goal.”
“Therefore, the enemy can be subdued despite its seemingly solid calculations and military power,” he stated, cautioning, however, against underestimating the adversary. “One should never disregard the foe’s machinations and stratagems at any stage.”
The Leader urged the intellectual centers of the Iranian Armed Forces to focus on inventive approaches in designing robust, logical, and efficacious strategies and
tactics.
