In a meeting on Monday with Iranian officials overseeing Hajj pilgrimage affairs and pilgrims bound for Saudi Arabia's Mecca and Medina, Iranian Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei highlighted the significance of the ongoing Resistance in Gaza against the Israeli regime's brutal attacks.

Sayyed Khamenei emphasized that the current events in Gaza, which expose the true nature of the "bloodsuckers" spawned by Western civilization, will be remembered for generations to come.

“These are not issues of interest for today and these days, but rather, they will remain in history,” he stressed.

He also underscored that the "Zionist regime" wouldn't have perpetrated its brutal actions against Palestinians without the backing of the United States, stressing that one cannot show kindness to those who are involved in or endorse acts of murder.

Khamenei emphasized Iran's proactive stance in supporting the Palestinian cause, stressing that the unwavering backing of Muslim nations is essential to halt the ongoing plight of the Palestinian people.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he highlighted the significance of this year's Hajj rituals, urging Muslims to transcend mere annual ceremonies by drawing inspiration from the verses of the Holy Quran and the legacy of the revered Prophet Ibrahim (AS).

Rejecting Zionist regime and allies

Furthermore, Sayyed Khamenei underscored that this year's Hajj should serve as a clear rejection of the Zionist regime and its allies, signaling solidarity with Muslims worldwide.

This comes shortly after the Iranian leader called for mounting pressure on the Israeli occupation so that the besieged Palestinians in the Gaza Strip would not be overlooked, during an address to a group of teachers and academics on National Teachers' Day, marking the martyrdom anniversary of Ayatollah Morteza Motahhari.

He stressed that the situation in Gaza is a prominent subject on the global scale and the Israeli occupation and its Western allies are putting effort to eliminate the Palestinian cause from the world's agenda, "but all in vain."

"Palestine must return to its original owners. Palestine belongs to the Palestinian people, including Muslims, Christians, and Jews; Palestine is for them and should return to them," he added. 

'Israel' makes move on Rafah, forced displacement commences

Earlier today, the Israeli occupation forces officially began the forceful displacement of the already-displaced Palestinian people currently seeking shelter in Rafah, which had been designated by the Israelis as an alleged "safe zone" early in the war.

With flyers dropping from the skies, SMS, and social media broadcasts, the Israeli occupation's action on Rafah is set to be yet another episode of this live-streamed genocide.

According to Israeli spokesperson Avichay Adraee, the IOF have allegedly expanded the alleged "humanitarian zone" in the Mawasi area and is forcing Palestinians out of eastern Rafah, which was allegedly the initial "safe zone".

The action being taken by the Israeli occupation would forcefully displace at least 100,000 of the 1.4 million Palestinians currently displaced in Rafah. It would also threaten to hold all remaining Palestinians in Gaza hostage, as the Rafah border crossing will likely be targeted through bombardments.
