Sinwar's appointment proves path of resistance ‘eternal’: Leader’s advisor

Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s new political leader

The appointment of Yahya Sinwar as Hamas’s new political leader signifies that Palestinians remain committed to resisting the Israeli regime and liberating Al-Quds, says Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

In a congratulatory message on Friday to Sinwar, who replaced Ismail Haniyeh earlier this week, Velayati expressed confidence in Sinwar's leadership and the unity of resistance groups, hoping for the eventual liberation of Palestine and the end of the Zionist regime.

"Your deserved selection shows that Hamas leaders, as in the past, will continue to stand, fight, and resist against the criminal Zionist regime and for the liberation of Al-Quds, more determined than ever, because the path of resistance is not endable,” said Velayati, who also served as Iran's foreign minister for more than fifteen years from December 1981 to August 1997.  

“With the fall of the flag from one commander, another commander will raise the flag of resistance, and this luminous path will continue, and undoubtedly the only way to victory is resistance, and this has been proven to the world by the fighters of the resistance front and the brave and courageous people of Palestine and Gaza,” he wrote.

Velayati honored the memory of Haniyeh, who was assassinated in an Israeli attack in Tehran last week, and expressed confidence in Sinwar's leadership and the unity of resistance groups.

“We firmly believe that the honorable background of you faithful and revolutionary brother in fighting against the criminal Zionist regime and the unity and cohesion of the resistance groups heralds the continuation of the luminous path of the martyr of Al-Quds, Dr. Ismail Haniyeh until the sacred goal of liberating Al-Quds and dismantling the occupation and usurpation of dear Palestine is achieved,” he said. 

Velayati wished Gaza resistance fighters victory over the Israeli regime and expressed hope the world will soon witness the liberation of Palestine and the destruction of the Zionist regime.
