Iran is working to arm the various terrorist organizations active in Judea and Samaria with the aim of sparking fresh hostilities against Israel, recent remarks by senior officials in Tehran reveal.

A report published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs on Wednesday exposed a series of comments from officials showing that the Iranian regime has not abandoned its hopes of instigating a bloody uprising in Judea and Samaria.

Former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, who now serves as security adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, spoke on Quds Day – marked last Friday – and said that support for the Palestinians was a fundamental principle of the Islamic Revolution, and would continue until the "Zionist regime" was eliminated.

Safavi praised the upgraded weapons the Palestinians have been using and stressed that the "blessed" process of procuring advanced weaponry was still underway. Safavi said that in contrast to the past when Palestinians had waged war against Israel using rocks and sticks; they were now supplied with an arsenal of rockets that would allow them to respond to "any Israeli attack."

Safavi also referred to recent statements by Khamenei, who has explicitly called to arm Palestinians in the West Bank in the same manner as those in the Gaza Strip are armed, and said that the strategy of supplying weapons to the West Bank was currently being implemented.

"Armed holy jihad is more popular now, both in Gaza and in the West Bank," Khamenei has noted.

"There are growing signs that the Zionist regime will disappear from the region," Safavi said, adding that Khamenei had declared that Israel "would not see the next 25 years."

As early as 2014, Khamenei said that "the West Bank will be armed with rockets, like Gaza, and the security of the Zionist regime will decline from day to day."
