Mash'al In Iran: 'Our Battle Is Your Battle'; 'Together We Will Liberate Jerusalem'; Iran Will Help Rebuild Gaza; French Leaders ‘Collaborators’ In Zionists’ Gaza Massacres
In a speech at the Iranian Majlis, Hamas leader Khaled Mash'al said that Hamas will not stop smuggling weapons, because doing so would be against the armed struggle.
He told Iranian MPs: "Our battle is your battle... Your support for the resistance in Palestine is support for yourselves.
He called on Europe to adjust its policy vis-à-vis Hamas, and to influence the U.S. to do likewise.
He said that Hamas aspires to liberate Jerusalem and all Palestine, and to realize the right of return.
Majlis speaker Ali Larijani said that Hamas was bringing honor to Islam with its struggle against Zionism.
In another speech, yesterday at a ceremony at Tehran University to honor the Hamas delegation currently visiting Iran, Mash'al declared, "Together we will liberate Jerusalem."
He added that he had arrived at an understanding with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei on Iranian involvement in rebuilding the Gaza Strip.
Global Gathering of the Ahl Al-Bayt Association secretary-general Abbas Ali Akhtari declared at the ceremony that the elimination of Israel was absolute and inevitable.
Also at the ceremony, Muhammad Nasr Al-Atrash, the head of the Muslim Party in France, declared that his party would not permit French President Nicolas Sarkozy and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who are "collaborators in the Zionists' massacre in Gaza," to turn France into a Zionist state.
