Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Palestinian nation and the people of the Gaza Strip are carrying “the highest flag of Islam” in the world today.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks on Tuesday during a meeting with Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, and Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement Ziyad al-Nakhalah, in Tehran.

“Today, the highest flag of Islam is in the hands of the Palestinian nation and the people of Gaza, and thanks to the resistance, the ground has been provided for the further promotion of Islam,” he said.

“The increasing trend toward Islam at the current juncture shows the glory and grandeur of the resistance of the Palestinian nation and the people of Gaza.”

The Leader also described the people of Gaza and the West Bank as the main elements behind the glory of the resistance, hoping that the Palestinians and resistance forces will be further blessed by divine assistance.

The Hamas chief, for his part, hailed Iran’s good and strong position in support of Palestine and the resistance movement.

The Palestinian people and resistance fighters must establish their heroism and victory against Israel as the regime’s genocidal war on Gaza has reached a critical and historical stage after 300 days, Haniyeh added.

Nakhalah also said the presence of both Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders at the meeting is a symbolic sign of unity among Palestinian resistance forces.

Such unity, he noted, has put cooperation among resistance fronts across the region at its best situation.
