News - Middle East: Leader of the Islamic Revolution [in Iran] Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has urged the Muslim world not to allow the issue of Palestine to sink into oblivion, emphasizing the need to confront the Israeli regime's ongoing genocide in the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks as he received a large group of workers from across the country in the capital Tehran on Saturday.

“The biased policies that are being implemented in the world today against nations are aimed at making issues related to Palestine forgotten; Muslim nations should not allow this; they should not allow it to happen,” the Leader said.

“Through various rumors, different kinds of statements, and by bringing up new, irrelevant, and meaningless issues, they try to distract minds from the issue of Palestine. Minds must not be diverted from the issue of Palestine.”

Pointing to the all-out Western support for Israel in its atrocities in Gaza, Ayatollah Khamenei called on the international community to rise and confront the occupying regime and its sympathizers.

“The crime that the Zionist regime is committing in Gaza, in Palestine, is not something that can be overlooked. The whole world must stand against it.

“They must stand against the Zionist regime itself, and they must stand against the supporters of the Zionist regime,” he said.

The leader also emphasized that the US and its allies, such as Britain, are complicit in the Israeli regime’s oppression of the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza, and, despite public statements that may appear critical, these nations actively support Israel.

“The Americans, in the truest sense of the word, are providing support [to the Israeli regime]; now in the realm of politics, certain statements are made, and things are said that might lead people to think otherwise—but this is not the reality.

“The truth of the matter is that the oppressed nation of Palestine, the oppressed people of Gaza, are today not only confronting the Zionist regime; they are confronting the United States, they are confronting Britain,” the leader noted.
