Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told Palestinian resistance officials thst Israel’s elimination may happen very soon as signs of its decline are visible, calling resistance the only way to counter the occupying regime.

Raisi made the remarks during meetings with a group of Palestinian resistance leaders, commanders and intellectuals in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Thursday.

He underlined the need for unity among resistance forces, the region and the Muslim world to expedite the defeat of the usurping entity, the liberation of the holy al-Quds, and the Palestinians’ sovereignty over their fate.

“Today, the initiative is in the hands of Palestinian fighters on the battlefield, not at negotiating tables. We believe that the demise of the Zionist regime is imminent as the signs of its decline are visible,” he said.

“The only solution for Palestine is state sovereignty based on the will of the Palestinians. If the Westerners seek democracy, they should acknowledge the Palestinian people’s vote and remain committed to it.”

Raisi also noted that the Palestine issue, along with the liberation of al-Quds, is the most important issue in the Islamic world and that it should not be consigned to oblivion.

He further urged Muslims to do their best to uphold the Palestinians’ rights violated by the Tel Aviv regime.

Through waging a hybrid war, the enemies are trying to insinuate that the Palestinians’ future hinges on the survival of the Zionist regime, he said, adding that deals such as Camp David, Sharm el-Sheikh and Oslo, together with recent normalization efforts, were all in line with that policy.
