During this ceremony, held in the Mausoleum of Imam Khomeini, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized, “From the very first day of the Islamic Movement, Imam [Khomeini] highlighted the Palestinian issue and, with foresight and scrutiny, he predicted the path ahead for the Palestinian nation. This very important insight of the Imam is gradually being realized.”
Imam Khamenei described the purpose of the annual gathering as a means to honor Imam Khomeini’s memory and to apply his teachings towards the administration and progress of the country, as well as the realization of the Revolution’s objectives.
In the first part of his speech, Imam Khamenei explained the importance of the Palestinian issue in the thoughts and opinions of the late Imam Khomeini, emphasizing the rejection of reliance on so-called peace negotiations, the active participation of the Palestinian people in taking back their rights, as well as all nations’ help, especially that of the Muslim nations for the Palestinian people. These principles, according to the Leader, embody Imam Khomeini’s vision for the ultimate victory of the Palestinians. He further highlighted that these significant developments are currently unfolding.
Imam Khamenei pointed out that the Zionist regime has become trapped in a corner due to the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, adding that, “Even though the US and many Western governments continue to support this regime, they too are aware that there is no escape for the occupying regime.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution expounded on two important features of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which include fulfilling the significant needs of the region and dealing a decisive blow to the criminal regime. “A comprehensive, broad plan for the region had been devised by the US, Zionist elements, their followers, and certain governments in the region. This comprehensive plan aimed to reshape regional relations and dynamics, [Their goal was to] establish relations between the Zionist regime and regional governments based on the wishes of that regime. This in turn meant that the Zionist regime would not only attain domination over the politics and economy of the entire region of West Asia, but also over the entire Islamic world” he stated.
Imam Khamenei noted that, “This sinister plan was on the verge of execution when the miraculous Al-Aqsa Flood began and disrupted the Zionist regime's comprehensive plan to dominate the politics and economy of the entire region of West Asia, in such a way that considering the events of the past eight months, there is no hope that they will be able to revive this plan.”
He attributed the unprecedented crimes and boundless brutality of the insane regime, as well as the US government's support for these atrocities, to agitated reactions towards the disruption of the grand international conspiracy that planned to allow the Zionist regime dominate the region.
To illustrate the gravity of the surge in reverse migration in the occupied territories, Imam Khamenei referenced the words of a Zionist security analyst. "This Zionist analyst says, If the content of the discussions and conflicts going on between Israeli officials are published by the media, four million people will leave Israel.'"
Imam Khamenei highlighted the significant transformation of the Palestinian issue into a global priority. He noted the widespread anti-Zionist demonstrations in London, Paris, and US universities, emphasizing the increasing awareness and attention to the plight of the Palestinian people. “For many years, American-Zionist propaganda and media centers have made an effort to make people forget the Palestinian issue. But in the light of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation and the resilience of the people of Gaza, Palestine is now at the forefront of global issues,” he noted.
