Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of Iran, in a description of his speech to university students on July 23, 2014 via Facebook, stated:
“Since its illegitimate birth since 66 years ago, the Zionist regime has done whatever crime one can imagine against Palestine. There is no way to stop the infanticidal Zionist regime but the elimination of this regime; not via war but via referendum… In the absence of a referendum, fighting Zionists is realized through resolute and armed resistance of Palestinians which is recognized by international laws… I believe West Bank should be armed just like Gaza. Those who love Palestine should arm the people of Palestine in the West Bank.”

With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists.”
