Ayatollah Khamenei congratulated the victory of the Palestinian resistance in the 11-day war with the Zionist regime.
The text of the message of the Leader of the Revolution is as follows:
In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate,
Greetings to the authoritative and oppressed Palestine; greetings to the brave and zealous youth of Palestine, greetings to the heroic and resilient Gaza, greetings to Hamas and Islamic Jihad and all the jihadist and political groups in Palestine.
I thank the Almighty God for the victory and honor He bestowed on the Palestinian Mujahideen, and I ask God Almighty to grant peace and reassurance to the wounded hearts of the martyrs, and mercy for the martyrs, and complete healing for the injured, and congratulations for victory over the criminal Zionist regime.
The test in these few days made the Palestinian people proud. The savage enemy correctly recognized that it was incapable in the face of a unified Palestinian uprising. The test of cooperation between Quds and the West Bank with Gaza and the 1948 territories and camps showed the future of the Palestinians. In these 12 days, the oppressive regime committed great crimes, mainly in Gaza, and practically proved that due to its inability to counter the unified Palestinian uprising, it is committing such shameful and insane behaviors that it incites the public opinion of the whole world against itself and the made its Western backers more hated, especially criminal America, even more than ever. The continuation of the crimes and the request for a ceasefire were both its defeats. It had to accept defeat.
The evil regime will become even weaker. The readiness of the Palestinian youth, and a constant and valuable show of strength by the jihadist groups, will make Palestine stronger exponentially and the usurping enemy more and more powerless and humiliated.
The time of the start and cessation of hostilities depends on the discretion of the Palestinian jihadist and political leaders, but the preparation and strong presence on the scene is not a matter to neglect. The experience of the "Sheikh Jarrah" in resisting the tyranny of the regime and the mercenary settlers should be the constant instruction of the zealous Palestinian people. Greetings to the warriors of "Sheikh Jarrah".
The Islamic world is completely responsible for the Palestinian cause and has a religious duty. Political reason and the experiences of the governing also confirm and emphasize this religious ruling. Muslim states must be sincere in supporting the Palestinian people in the scene, whether in military strengthening, in the financial support that is needed today more than in the past, or in rebuilding the infrastructure and destruction in Gaza.
The demand and pursuit of nations support this religious and political demand. Muslim nations must demand this from their governments, and the nations themselves are obliged to provide financial and political support as much as possible.
Another important task is to pursue the punishment of the terrorist and cruel Zionist government. All awakened consciences acknowledge that the heinous crime of killing Palestinian children and women in these 12 days should not go unpunished. All influential elements of the regime and the criminal Netanyahu must be prosecuted and punished by international and independent courts; and this will be realized as the divine power promises (Source: IRNA).
