Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei warned Saturday that a US-sponsored Middle East peace conference this autumn is only aimed to rescue the Zionist regime. "Any gathering held in the name of peace so far has been to the disadvantage of the Palestinian people. For the same reason, the Palestinian nation rejects the (so-called) autumn conference, too.
Then, how could other governments take part in a conference the Palestinian nation regards as deceitful!"
The Supreme Leader made the remark in his sermons at the special Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at Tehran Musalla (grand prayers ground), held to mark the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
Referring to the "heavy defeat" suffered by the Zionist regime at the hands of the Lebanese Hizbullah last year, the Leader stated that the main aim of the US-sponsored conference is to "rescue the weakened Zionist regime."
He invited all Palestinian groups to "unity, brotherhood and vigilance" and stressed, "The enemy is fomenting sedition in your homeland. Be vigilant not to stand against one another."
The Supreme Leader said the aim of all policies and actions of the Zionists was to destroy the "incentive of resistance" in the Palestinian people.
He also praised the Palestinian resistance and noted, "The Palestinians and the Hamas government elected by them, are standing despite all the pressures and know that Palestine must be saved by the Palestinian nation. And the support of the Islamic Ummah for them will increase this resistance and steadfastness."
Turning to the efforts made by the US and Zionists to restrict Palestinians in a limited part of the occupied territories, that is the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, he said, "Enemies of Islam are making numerous efforts to slide the issue of Palestine into oblivion with the world public opinion.
"However, the rallies held by nations on the International Qods Day thwarted this big conspiracy and gave hope and rejuvenated the oppressed and lonely Palestinian nation."
The International Qods Day rallies, held on the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, in Iran and various parts of the world were initiated by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran Imam Khomeini to voice support for the oppressed Palestinian nation and protest of the Islamic Ummah against Zionist usurpers.
