Ramadhan Abdullah: Iran's support for Palestine advantageous to all Muslims
2010/03/01 FNA
Iran's support for resistance in the Palestinian territories against the crimes of the Zionist regime is beneficial to all Islamic countries, Islamic Jihad Secretary General Ramadhan Abdullah Shallah reiterated on Monday.
"Iran, in fact, defends all Muslim countries against the danger of the Zionist regime and the measures of the western countries through its support for the Palestinian resistance groups," Abdullah said, addressing a gathering of Iranian students at the Tehran University.
Shallah and a number of other Palestinian resistance leaders are visiting Tehran to attend an international conference on 'National and Islamic Solidarity for the Future of Palestine' held on February 27-28.
Noting that the western countries and the Zionist regime are seeking to sow discord among Muslims and divide the world into the two parts of Arab and Islamic, he stressed that Israel views resistance forces and the Islamic Republic of Iran as serious dangers posed to its existence and materialization of its plots.
Abdullah further underlined that Iran's progress in the field of peaceful nuclear technology and Tehran's support for the Palestinian and Lebanese groups are the main two factors which have caused Israel's opposition and animosity towards the Islamic Republic.
Israel alleges to be threatened by Tehran's peaceful and civilian nuclear activities while Tel Aviv possesses hundreds of nuclear warheads and it is not a signatory to the NPT or any other international convention. The Zionist regime has never allowed UN inspectors to visit its nuclear sites or arsenals.
The Palestinian official also termed Israel's atomic arsenals the most significant danger threatening the Middle Eastern countries, and said no one dares to live in a region where one of the regional states has deployed 300 nuclear warheads.
Iran, an NPT-signatory, has called for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction from across the globe.
The UN General Assembly approved a draft resolution proposed by Iran on nuclear disarmament in October amid strong opposition by the US, Britain, France, Israel and a number of western countries.
