The Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement’s representative to Iran, Nasser Abu-Sharif (L), speaks at a joint press conference with Khaled al-Qaddumi, the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement’s representative to Iran, in Tehran on August 17, 2022.

Tehran, August 18 (RHC)-- The Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement’s representative to Iran says resistance against the occupying Israeli regime will continue until the entire Palestinian land is liberated.

“The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement will continue to resist,” Nasser Abu-Sharif said on Wednesday, speaking at a joint press conference with Khaled al-Qaddumi, the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement’s representative to Iran, on the achievements of the latest war between Israel and resistance in the Gaza Strip.

“The ultimate goal has not been achieved, and this resistance will continue until the complete liberation of the Palestinian land,” he said.  Abu-Sharif noted that martyrdom is not an obstacle to liberation of the Palestinian land.  He said the way Palestinian resistance and nation respond to the Israeli regime has evolved and progressed over the years.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides says Washington fully backed the Tel Aviv regime’s latest military onslaught against the Gaza Strip, describing Palestinian resistance fighters there as “bad guys.”

In response to the Israeli onslaught on Gaza, Islamic Jihad fired hundreds of rockets at the Israeli-occupied territories, prompting the regime in Tel Aviv to accept an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.
