Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Israel will soon "be eliminated" over its "crimes against humanity" and against the Palestinians. The statement was made in a series of tweets on the occasion of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) International Day.
"First, I would like to highlight the magnitude of the tragedy of the occupation of #Palestine and the formation of the Zionist cancerous tumor in that country," Khamenei wrote. "Among crimes against humanity in recent times, there is no crime that equals this crime in terms of scope and gravity."

The dawn of the Islamic Revolution in Iran "opened up a new chapter in the struggle for Palestine. The emergence of the resistance front presented the Zionist regime with increasing problems. God willing, the Zionist regime will encounter even more problems in the future," he asserted.
"Who is responsible for all these crimes and for the occupation, destruction and oppression in Palestine? Why should millions of Palestinians spend 70 years away from their homes and in exile? And why should Holy Quds, the first Qiblah of Muslims, be desecrated?"
4. The Zionist regime is a deadly, cancerous growth and a detriment to this region. It will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed. Then, the shame will fall on those who put their facilities at the service of normalization of relations with this regime.

"Pay attention! US and Zionists' policy is staging wars in Syria, constant killings in Yemen, the creation of ISIS in Iraq, etc. to divert the world of Islam's attention and provide opportunities for the Zionist regime. The way to prevent that is the vigilance of the proud youth of the world of Islam.

#Hamas & #IslamicJihad in Palestine, #Hezbollah in Lebanon have been a proof for everyone.The world will not forget the day Zionist army, pounded by Hezbollah, retreated from Lebanon & begged for a truce after heavy casualties. This is what full hands & a position of power means.

"Some argue that the Zionist regime is a reality that the region must come to terms with. Today the Covid-19 is a reality; should it be accepted or fought?!
"The long-lasting virus of Zionism will be uprooted thanks to the determination and faith of the youth.
"My main advice is to continue this struggle and better organize anti-occupation organizations, cooperation and expand the areas of jihad inside Palestinian territories. Everyone must help the Palestinian fighters. We will proudly do everything in our power on this path," he continued.
"Iran realized Palestinian fighters' only problem was lack of access to weapons. With divine guidance and assistance, we planned and the balance of power has been transformed in Palestine, and today Gaza can stand against the aggression of the Zionist enemy and defeat it.
"This change in the equation in occupied lands will bring the question of Palestine closer to final steps. Palestinian Authority has a great responsibility in this regard. One cannot communicate with a savage enemy except by force and the brave people of Palestine are set to gain this power.
"Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon have been proof for everyone. The world will not forget the day Zionist army, pounded by Hezbollah, retreated from Lebanon and begged for a truce after heavy casualties. This is what full hands and a position of power means," he concluded.
