The leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei has met with the chairman of Hamas's political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Sayyed Ali Khamenei received a report from Ismail Haniyeh at the meeting about the most recent events in Gaza, the war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation, and recent developments in the West Bank.
For his part, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution expressed once again how appreciative he is of the perseverance and fortitude of the unwavering people of Gaza and expressed his strong condemnation of the atrocities carried out by the Zionist government, which was directly aided by the US and other Western nations.
Iran has consistently supported the Palestinian Resistance forces in their fight against the Zionist occupation, as Sayyed Khamenei highlighted.
The Iranian leader also emphasized the necessity of Islamic nations and international organizations taking significant action, as well as the Islamic governments' all-encompassing and useful support for the Gazan people.
Five Palestinians were martyred on Sunday morning during Israeli raids in occupied Al-Quds and in several cities and towns in the occupied West Bank.
This comes just one day after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians across the occupied West Bank; in Jenin, Qalandiya refugee camp, and the town of al-Fawar.
The occupation has escalated its violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank following the launching of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. In fact, the occupation has arrested more than 1,850 Palestinians, most of whom were detained with no charges brought against them.
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have murdered with cold blood 9,500 people in the Gaza Strip throughout the 30 days of aggression on the blockaded strip, the Government Media Office in Gaza reported on Saturday.
