During a meeting with senior Iranian officials and scientists, the leader of the revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyyed Ali Khamenei, emphasized that "no one will be able to stand against Muslims and the forces of resistance if the Israeli occupation's crimes continue in Gaza."

Seyyed Khamenei blamed the United States for supporting the Zionist regime's policies, stating that the ongoing events were a result of Washington's policies.

He added that the Israeli occupation, no matter what it does, "will not be able to compensate for the humiliating defeat it suffered": emphasizing that "Israel" must stop its airstrikes against Gaza at once.

Furthermore, the Iranian leader drew attention to the massacres committed by the occupation "before the world," describing it as a "genocide" and calling for the "Israeli government to be sent to trial."

In response to narratives incriminating the Palestinian resistance for killing "Israeli civilians", Seyyed Khamenei said that settlers are not civilians and that they are all armed. 

The leader of the Islamic revolution further noted that profound anger grips the masses of Muslims and non-Muslims alike in Islamic countries, and even in the West, about the populous international demonstrations held in support of Palestine and the Palestinian resistance.

Head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement's media office, Daoud Shehab, told Al Mayadeen on Monday that the Israeli aggression on Gaza "is not only targeting Hamas but also the Palestinian presence."

Shehab added that the Palestinian factions are defending the innocent people whom "Israel" kills with missiles and US warplanes, noting that there are no serious efforts to stop the aggression.

He emphasized that the circumstances under which the Israeli entity was established in 1948 are no longer in place today because the Palestinian resistance is now strong and has alliances that are part of the extended and large Axis of Resistance.

Shehab made it clear that the Palestinian Resistance has significant military strength in all Palestinian areas, inside occupied Palestine, in refugee camps, and in the diaspora, expressing the Palestinian Resistance fighters' readiness, especially Al-Quds Brigades, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas, and the PIJ.

"We have all the resources," he added.

"Our brothers in the Islamic resistance in Lebanon (Hezbollah) are also ready and with us side by side, and they have carried out several important operations in which a number of Zionist soldiers and officers were killed," the PIJ official pointed out.

He added that "this front can become more inflamed and turn into a unified front for Palestinian Resistance and the Axis of Resistance in confronting the Israeli enemy."

Shehab said, "Today, we are fighting the United States, which harbors all animosity toward the Palestinian people and Gaza."

He made it clear that the Palestinian Resistance is "well-prepared for this battle, including a ground war if Israel initiates it," stressing that "this genocide that targets the Palestinian people and Palestinian children must end."

The PIJ official underscored that "if Israel goes into a ground war, we are prepared with all the means at our disposal, including powerful assets and surprises that cannot be discussed in the media."

Earlier on Monday, the spokesperson for Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida underlined that "Gaza will be the graveyard of its invaders."
