Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has met with some senior Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials in Beirut as he continued his visit to Lebanon.

 

In the meeting, they discussed the latest developments in Palestine.

 

The Palestinian officials noted that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was a natural reaction by the Palestinian nation’s resistance to the daily and continued crimes of the Zionist regime, specifically the extremist cabinet of Netanyahu against Palestinians and the regime’s frequent desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

 

They also said despite the war crimes by the usurping Zionist regime against the oppressed people of Gaza, resistance groups have stood up strongly against the regime’s aggression, with their morale, motivation and capability being high as they press ahead down the path of resistance.

 

Amirabdollahian for his part said the Palestinian people have an inalienable right to resistance against occupation.

 

He added that just as some Western officials have admitted, Al-Aqsa Flood proved that Palestine is alive and in spite of some claims, the Palestinian issue will not slip into oblivion due to normalization deals between some countries and the Zionist regime.

 

Amirabdollahian further said some Western countries even share the view that Al-Aqsa Flood was a response to Netanyahu’s extremist moves.

 

The top Iranian diplomat outlined the diplomatic efforts by the Islamic Republic of Iran to end the war crimes of the Zionist regime against the people of Gaza, saying the Islamic Republic will continue its efforts.
