Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khameini predicted on Monday that the Palestinians would soon be able to "establish a government in Tel Aviv."
Hosting the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Tehran, the Iranian supreme leader also hailed the "Palestinian resistance" against Israel, arguing that the most recent exchange of violence between Israel and militant groups in Gaza, which ended with a ceasefire, heralded Israel's imminent demise."Palestine will strongly persist, and by the grace of God, the Palestinian nation's ultimate victory will come true in the near future," the ayatollah told Ziad al-Nakhala, who became PIJ's leader in late September."As for the recent years, the victory of the Palestinian people has not meant being able to establish a government in Tel Aviv;- of course that will come true by God's help," Khameini added, according to a readout of the meeting posted on his official website."However, the main victory has been the fact that the Zionist regime - which Arab armies failed to defeat - was brought to its knees by the Palestinian people and the resistance; and by God's will, you will achieve greater victories."
Speaking to al-Nakhala, Khamenei hailed the "victories of Palestinian resistance groups" against Israel", citing the decreasing number of days of fighting compared to previous military confrontations as a harbinger of the Palestinians' ultimate victory."During the two last wars against the Resistance groups, the Zionist regime begged for ceasefire after 22 days in one case and after 8 days in another instance; in the most recent conflict, the Zionist regime asked for ceasefire after only 48 hours," he said. "This means the Zionist Regime has been brought to its knees."
These important events were divine blessings, he went on, positing that the reason for the Palestinians' "consecutive victories in recent years lies in resistance."
He added: "Thus, in the future, as far as the resistance exists, the decline of the Zionist Regime will continue."
**********************************************
On November 13, after 460 rockets and mortar shells were fired at southern Israel over the course of 25 hours, the Israeli government agreed to an informal Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Hamas. It was the worst flareup since the 2014 summer war.
