Qomi explained: “One of the Revolution's central goals is to support Palestine and resist colonialism, with Israel being its regional representative”.
Shortly after the Revolution, the Palestinian liberation movement's leader visited Iran, leading to the establishment of the Palestinian embassy in place of Israel's. Six months later, Imam Khomeini designated the last Friday of Ramadan as Quds Day.
Referring to Martyr Ismail Haniyeh's statements, Qomi highlighted: “Iran plays a pivotal role in supporting resistance efforts in Palestine. For over 78 years, Palestinians have endured severe oppression and deprivation of their basic rights. Meanwhile, the Zionist regime's ongoing atrocities, including the killing of women and children, have sparked outrage worldwide”.
He described the Palestinian conflict as a fundamental clash between humanity and barbarism, which has created a global movement against Zionism. “This movement extends from American universities to European capitals and throughout Asia, with daily protests demanding justice”.
Qomi also noted that prior to the Revolution, Palestinians defended themselves with stones. “However, inspired by revolutionary principles, they now employ advanced strategies such as Al-Aqsa Storm. Grassroots movements like Hamas and Hezbollah, shaped by the Islamic Revolution's teachings, have transformed the resistance landscape, delivering successive victories”.
He further stated that the Islamic Revolution taught Palestinians the value of people-powered uprisings. “This inspired movements like Hamas and Hezbollah, which significantly strengthened the resistance front. After the Al-Aqsa Storm operation and ceasefire agreements, Israel's defeat became evident, as its conditions—destroying Hamas, freeing hostages, and neutralizing tunnels—remained unmet. Hamas’s demands, however, were largely achieved”.
Qomi concluded that resistance is more effective than compromise, with Syria serving as a clear example of its success.
