Tehran, Iran, Dec. 13 Irans Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed on Tuesday the United States-backed roadmap to peace in the Middle East and called for resistance against the state of Israel as the only path to liberation in the troubled region, state television reported.
In a meeting with Khaled Mashaal, the political chief of Hamas, Khamenei said, The only way to ensure the liberation of Palestine and the future of its people is continued resistance along with force, unity, and adherence to Islam’s statutes.
Experience of the past 50 years shows that surrender the face of the Zionist occupiers and negotiations with them will only make the situation worse, the Supreme Leader said.
He said that he hoped that Palestinian resistance groups would force the occupiers out of Jerusalem.
Despite its false superficial show of force, the United States has been met with defeat in the Middle East and is in the process of retreating. Palestinian people and resistance groups must take this situation into consideration and vigilantly continue in their path of Jihad, Khamenei added.
