Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei meets with leaders of the Palestinian terrorist group Islamic Jihad.
Ramadan Shalah, the head of the organization, led a delegation that met with Khamenei in Tehran Sunday, thanking him for the Islamic Republic’s “firm support” for Palestine, according to the Iranian news site PressTV.
Khamenei posted a photo of the meeting on his official Twitter account.
Khamenei said the support for Palestine will continue.
“Since from the very beginning, the Islamic Republic of Iran considered supporting Palestine as a duty, it will continue to fulfill its obligation in the future as well,” he said, according to PressTV.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
