Entire Muslim World Responsible for Supporting Palestine: Iran Leader

Ayatollah Khamenei on Wednesday described the battle against the Zionist regime of Israel as a “sacred” one and a collective responsibility of the entire Muslim world.

The “heavy responsibility” to support Palestine lies with the entire Islamic world, the Leader said in a message to the 2nd international conference of resistance scholars, held in Beirut.

“Without a doubt, scholarly elites, clerics and politicians, as well as the officials of Muslim countries carry the heavier part of this responsibility; this is a sacred and well-ending Resistance. The Divine promise guarantees definite victory of the resistance,” the Leader said, as reported by Tasnim.

Describing the battle against Israel as a “holy” fight with a fortunate outcome, Ayatollah Khamenei said Almighty God has pledged a definite victory in this battle.

The Leader also urged that efforts should be made to diversify the continued fight against Tel Aviv.

“Your congress today represents part of this vast, public movement. May God help you succeed on this path. I recommend that all individuals, who feel the importance of this great responsibility, continue different methods of fighting against the usurper Zionist Regime.”

According to head of the Union of Resistance Scholars, Sheikh Maher Hamoud, more than 200 scholars from over 80 countries have taken part in the two-day event in Beirut.

“True Promise: Palestine between Balfour Declaration and Divine Promise” is the theme of the conference.

The first international conference of resistance scholars was held in Lebanon in May 2016.
