Senior Iran Muslim Cleric Urges Diversified Battle against Israel

Palestine and its oppressed people will remain an unforgettable issue across the Muslim world, Head of the Union of Resistance Scholars Sheikh Maher Hammoud said, calling for plans to diversify resistance against the Zionist regime of Israel.

In an interview with Tasnim in Beirut, Sheikh Hamoud referred to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei’s message to the 2nd international conference of resistance scholars in the Lebanese capital, saying it demonstrates the importance of supporting the Palestinian nation.

As emphasized by Ayatollah Khamenei, the battle against Israel should be diversified, the cleric added, saying only Muslim unity would thwart divisive plots in the Islamic world. In a message to the conference, Imam Khamenei underlined that the “heavy responsibility” to support Palestine lies with the entire Islamic world.

In a message to the 2nd international conference of resistance scholars, held in Beirut, Ayatollah Khamenei asserted that the “heavy responsibility” to support Palestine lies with the entire Islamic world.

“Without a doubt, scholarly elites, clerics, and politicians, as well as the officials of Muslim countries carry the heavier part of this responsibility; this is a sacred and well-ending Resistance. The Divine promise guarantees the definite victory of the resistance,” the Leader said.

Describing the battle against Israel as a “holy” fight with a fortunate outcome, Imam Khamenei said Almighty God has pledged a definite victory in this battle.

“Your Congress today represents part of this vast, public movement. May God help you succeed on this path. I recommend all individuals, who feel the importance of this great responsibility, to continue different methods of fighting against the usurper Zionist Regime.”

According to the head of the Union of Resistance Scholars, Sheikh Maher Hammoud, more than 200 scholars from over 80 countries have taken part in the two-day event in Beirut. The first international conference of resistance scholars was held in Lebanon in May 2016.
