Raeisi: Victories of resistance front prove Israel’s fake power
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said victories of the resistance front have proven that the Israeli regime’s alleged deterrent power is fake, as tensions are growing between the regime and Palestinian resistance fighters.
“The victories of the resistance front have revealed and proved that the image that the Israeli regime is trying portray of its alleged deterrent power is not real,” President Raeisi told the visiting head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement, Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
He said that today the resistance front is stronger than ever and its enemies are in a weaker position than ever.
Today, even those who once sought to negotiate and reach an agreement with the Israeli regime and its supporters, have come to a conclusion that negotiation and compromise with this regime is useless, and the only possible way to counter it is resistance, Raeisi said.
Nowadays no one has the slightest confidence in Israel and its supporters, which is another great achievement for the resistance front, the Iranian president added.
President Raeisi described the liberation of Al-Quds as the most important issue of the Muslim world, stressing that any attempt to normalize relations with Tel Aviv is a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and a stab in the back of the resistance movement.
President Raeisi warned Islamic countries that are seeking to normalize relations with Israel, that normalization will not bring security for the regime.
Raeisi’s meeting with Haniyeh came after the Iranian president held talks with visiting Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement, Ziad al-Nakhaleh.
The Palestinian officials’ trips to Tehran occurred amid deadly violence in the occupied territories which have erupted in recent days.
On Tuesday, a Palestinian man opened fire at a gas station near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, killing at least four people and wounding several others, Israeli medics said.
The shooting underscored the fragility of the situation in the West Bank, where, on Monday, an Israeli military raid into the northern Jenin refugee camp ignited some of the fiercest Israeli-Palestinian fighting seen in years, killing six Palestinians.
Militants targeted Israeli military vehicles with roadside bombs and Israeli forces deployed helicopter gunships to evacuate stranded troops. The intense surge in violence has killed 126 Palestinians and 24 Israelis so far this year.
