Tehran, October 16 (RHC)-- Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi says supporters of Israel, including the United States, are complicit in all its crimes against the Palestinian people.  Addressing a group of people in the city of Rostam in the southern Iranian province of Fars over the weekend, Raeisi said the child-killing Zionist regime continues its war crimes by dropping bombs on the innocent and defenseless people of Gaza.

"After 75 years of cruelty and crime, the new generation of Palestinians is currently standing up against the Zionists, and this shows neither crime and killing nor deceitful contracts could discourage and dissuade the oppressed Palestinian people from pursuing their rights."

The Iranian president emphasized that the Americans have failed to stabilize their presence in Afghanistan after two decades of crimes and killings.  He said tyranny, oppression and aggression have their limits and the Palestinian people have had enough.

"The Palestinian issue will not end by destroying the homes of the people in Gaza and the Palestinian people and the free nations of the world will get to the leaders of the Zionist regime," Raeisi stated.

He reiterated the Islamic Republic's policy on support for Gaza and the rights of the Palestinian people, saying, "Defense for Palestine and the oppressed people of Gaza is our duty."

The regime of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started its brutal aggression against Gaza on October 7, after resistance groups launched multi-pronged Operation al-Aqsa Storm, the largest military operation against the occupying entity in decades.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, nearly 1,800 Palestinians, including close to 600 children, have been killed since the beginning of the strikes. Over 6,300 people have been injured too, while more than 420,000 Gazans have been displaced.

Since then, the resistance groups have fired thousands of rockets in retaliatory strikes at the occupied territories.
