Iran's Majlis Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel said Tuesday that Israel is the symbol of US hostility towards the world of Islam.

 

Haddad-Adel made the comment while addressing a huge crowd of people who gathered at Tehran's Palestine Square in protest against the current aggression of Israel in Palestine and Lebanon. Addressing the US and supporters of Israel, he said, "Either stop your support for Israel, or do not expect to reconcile with world of Islam."


According to IRNA, the Majlis speaker addressed the Israelis and said, "Today, no one does roll red carpets before you in the territory of the Islamic countries, rather your bloodshed on the soil of Palestine makes it red."


Turning to Palestine as a test ground where the claims of US and the Western supporters of Israel are experimented, he said that the claims of US and Israel's proponents on freedom prove to be false in Palestine. "They occupied Iraq with similar claims to lay their hands on the country's oil reserves under pretext of freedom, democracy and locating weapons of mass destruction. This is while their own presence in Iraq is the cause of insecurity.

 

"The Palestinian people proved their vigilance by voting for Hamas. Today, Israel intends to take avenge on them by launching attacks on the country and taking the lives of its people," said the Majlis speaker.
