Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, met with Mr. Ziyad al-Nakhalah, the Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, and his accompanying delegation on March 28, 2024.

During this meeting, Imam Khamenei praised the Resistance forces and the people of Gaza as the winners of the field thus far. He emphasized that, “The peak of dignity and steadfastness demonstrated by the people of Gaza and Palestine and the failures of the Zionist regime throughout this six-month war are a divine event and phenomenon.”

Referring to the crimes committed by the Zionist regime, which have resulted in the massacre of innocent civilians in Gaza, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated that, “The fact that the Zionist regime, despite its extensive military equipment and support from oppressive world powers, is killing women and children, indicates that this regime is incapable of opposing the Resistance forces.”

During the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei expressed confidence to Mr. al-Nakhalah that the people of Gaza would eventually achieve victory with the help of God.

On his part, Mr. Ziyad al-Nakhalah, the Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, expressed his appreciation for Iran’s support of the Palestinian issue and honored the memory of Martyr General Soleimani. “The events unfolding in Gaza today are in fact a repetition of what took place in Karbala. Despite facing numerous difficulties and conspiracies, the people of Gaza have displayed unparalleled steadfastness alongside the Resistance forces. Together, they have successfully foiled the plots devised by the US, the Zionist regime, and their supporters to dismantle the Resistance,” he said.

Emphasizing the complete coordination amongst the Resistance forces, especially Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, Mr. al-Nakhalah underlined that the people of Gaza and the Resistance forces are determined to persevere until achieving ultimate victory. He expressed confidence that, with the grace of God, this victory will be achieved in the not-too-distant future.
