Palestinian
Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhalah said that
Palestinian
resistance fighters’ participation in the farewell ceremony for the martyred leader reflects their loyalty to his memory, reaffirming that Iran’s support for the
Palestinian
resistance will continue until victory is achieved.
Speaking on Sunday in remarks carried by Al-Manar, al-Nakhalah said, “The mujahideen of Palestine are participating in the farewell ceremony for the martyred Leader out of loyalty to his pure soul and in fulfillment of their pledge.”
“I am confident that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s support for Palestine will continue until victory is achieved,” he said.
On Saturday and Sunday, vast crowds of Iranians amassed for the start of the public funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Khamenei, who was assassinated at the start of the unprovoked US-Israeli war against Iran on February 28.
Al-Nakhalah described Imam Khamenei as “a distinguished and beloved leader who loved Palestine, and the
Palestinian
s also loved him.”
He stressed that the resistance would continue, saying the martyrdom of Imam Khamenei “will be a victory for Muslims and the mujahideen in Palestine and across the entire Islamic Ummah.”
The
Palestinian
Islamic Jihad chief further said that the Islamic Republic of Iran and its leadership had always supported the
Palestinian
people and would continue to do so.
The Islamic Revolution’s support for Palestine follows the path of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei and, God willing, will continue until victory is achieved, he added.
