Speaking to an anti-Israel student rally at Tehran University:

“Today, resistance, al-Quds and Palestine are victorious. Today, Palestinian children and youth sent a message to people of the world saying resistance can target the Zionist regime with its rockets.”“Iranian people join students to slam Israel’s vicious onslaught against Gazans,” Pars Today, May 13, 2021, https://parstoday.com/en/news/iran-i142050-iranian_people_join_students_to_slam_israel%E2%80%99s_vicious_onslaught_against_gazans.

“I do not know what kind of coexistence they are talking about; what kind of peaceful coexistence can be had with these instinctive criminals. They want to kill and burn the Palestinians so that they can settle down in the occupied territories. In short, today, we are facing a very violent and wild Zionist society whose leaders are provoking extremist emotions. Perhaps this is the best sign and a direct and practical referendum on the type of solution because, according to the Zionists, this conflict cannot be resolved except on the lifeless body of the other side.”Khalid al-Qaddumi, “Al-Quds sparks the flames of resistance again,” Tehran Times, May 7, 2021, https://www.tehrantimes.com/news/460645/Al-Quds-sparks-the-flames-of-resistance-again.

“Iran is our partner, our friend and our supporter. They were never reluctant in providing any help to the Palestinian people. We don’t need instigations, we’re not anyone’s proxy. Israel’s barbaric crimes make it a source of instability not only in Palestine, but across the region. They attack Syria, Iraq and — as we saw recently — Iranian nuclear facilities. They assassinate nuclear scientists. So yes, we’re confronting a common enemy, but that doesn’t mean we should be blamed. We are victims and it’s Israel that’s been committing all these atrocities.”Ali Hashem, “Hamas representative in Iran: latest round of fighting is strategic shift for group,” Al-Monitor, May 17, 2021, https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/05/hamas-representative-iran-latest-round-fighting-strategic-shift-group.
