Ahmadinejad promises Hamas continued support against Israel
December 14th, 2009 - 12:23 am ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Tehran, Dec 13 (DPA) Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sunday promised the Palestinian militant group Hamas continued support in their fight against Israel, state television reported.
In a meeting with visiting Hamas politburo head Khaled Meshaal, Ahmadinejad said that Iran would constantly stand besides the Palestinian nation until what he called “imminent collapse of the Zionist regime (Israel).”
Iranian TV quoted Meshaal as saying that Hamas would continue its fight against Israel and its supporters “until final victory.”
Ahmadinejad has several times stressed that, as Israel was on the verge of elimination, Palestinians should stay vigilant and prepared for the liberation of holy Quds (Jerusalem).
Iran does not acknowledge the sovereignty of Israel and supports the Hamas movement. It has, however, stressed repeatedly that its support for Hamas is of a spiritual, and not material, nature.
