Iran says Palestinians cannot fight off Israel except through use of force

Iran has asserted that Palestinians could achieve their goals against Israel only through the use of force, as the regime continues its unabated onslaught on the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.

Iran's mission to the United Nations told Newsweek that Tehran is ready to help Palestinians win over the regime through use of “force.”

“Based on Iran’s assessment, Palestinians cannot regain their seized rights from the Israeli regime through negotiation, as the Israeli regime only responds to force,” the mission said.

“Therefore, Iran supports any request for assistance from the Palestinian resistance,” it added.

The occupation forces assaulted several neighborhoods in Jenin by air and land on Monday as the Palestinian death toll from the latest wave of Israeli aggression has topped 10 since it began in the early hours of the day.

Palestine’s Shehab news agency reported that the occupation forces fired gas bombs at the hospital in Jenin, which was followed by Palestinians hurling handmade explosives at Israeli military vehicles in front of the medical facility.

In response to the Israeli aggression, the Jenin Brigade, which includes members of the Palestinian resistance groups in the occupied West Bank city, said it had ambushed the occupation forces and detonated a military vehicle with explosive devices.

Israel continues attacking Jenin by land and air in unabated aggression

The Israeli regime presses ahead with its unabated onslaught on the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp.

Israel’s military assault appeared to be the largest attack in the occupied West Bank in around two decades as the regime deployed armed drones and hundreds of troops against the innocent Palestinians.

Iran on Monday condemned the bloody Israeli military aggression against Jenin as an example of “state terrorism” and said the aggression proved that peace with the usurping entity cannot stop its “war machine.”

Peace with Israel cannot stop regime’s war machine: Iran warns after Jenin carnage

Iran condemns the bloody Israeli military aggression against the West Bank city of Jenin as an example of “state terrorism.”

“The tragic incident ..., comprising massive combined aerial, ground and missile attacks by the Zionist regime’s army on the city of Jenin, is a criminal act and a clear example of state terrorism,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said.

In another development on Monday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas suspended all contacts, meetings, and security coordination with Israel in protest at the Jenin carnage.

The decision came after Abbas held an emergency meeting with other leaders of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah.

“In light of the Israeli lack of commitment to the Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh understandings — the leadership announces that these understandings are no longer binding,” read a statement from Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh, referring to meetings held between the Israeli and Palestinian officials in Jordan and Egypt earlier this year.
