Tehran, 23 Dhulhijjja 1435/17 October 2014 (MINA) – “The reconstruction of Gaza and the development of its defence capabilities in the face of the Zionist entity’s crimes are on Iran’s agenda,” Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme Council of the Iranian National Security, said yesterday.

During a meeting with Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement of Palestine Ramadan Abdullah Mohammad Shalah in Tehran, Shamkhani said: “The brilliant victory achieved by the resistance during the 51-day war was achieved due to their adherence to Palestinian principles and the sacrifices they made in the face of the Zionist’s ambitions.”

He stressed that “Tehran will continue to support the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian people and send humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip,” Middle Esat Monitor (MEMO) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA), as reporting, Friday.

The two sides discussed the region’s developments and the Islamic State (ISIS). Shamkhani said: “The aim behind creating ideological groups is to distract people, economies and defence capacities of Islamic countries from the Palestinian cause and create divisions between Muslims over providing security in the occupied Palestinian territories.”

Saeed Jalili, member of the Expediency Council, which also met Shalah, said: “Gaza has become a model for the victory of the resistance and the defeat of America and Zionism.”

The Secretary-General of Islamic Jihad described the Iranian Islamic revolution as “the biggest political earthquake in the 20th Century.”

He thanked Tehran for “supporting the Palestinian resistance”, adding that “the Palestinian resistance has gained experience in the non-compliance of the Zionist entity with the ceasefire agreements”, stressing on the resistance’s readiness “to face any Israeli aggression”.

Shalah stressed that “the Palestinian people have gained their will and resistance from Allah’s will and Israel no longer has any weight before our people and the free peoples of the world.” (T/P3/R01)
