Iranian Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission deputy leader Hossein Sobhani-Nia said today that efforts to preserve Israel's existence are futile, and that the regime should give the Palestinians their rights.
He said, "Israel should give in to the rights of Palestinian nation, although the fate of the regime [i.e. Israel] is annihilation," the Iranian lawmaker noted.
Sobhani-Nia said that "the massive turnout of the world's Muslims on Qods Day proves the fact that investment of effort to maintain the existence of the Israeli regime is a futile endeavor."
Qods Day, initiated by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, is observed on the last Friday of Ramadan. On that day, Muslims worldwide are urged to hold rallies in support of the Palestinian resistance against what Khomeini commonly referred to as "the illegitimate Israeli regime occupying Palestine."
