International Conference on Palestine Supports Liberation of Remaining Lebanese Land
Tehran's two-day International Conference on Palestine supported in its closing statement Lebanon and its resistance against Israel.
“We support the Lebanese peoples' struggle and the Lebanese resistance against the Zionist occupiers, and we support the efforts to free the remaining land, especially Shebaa farms and the Kfarshoubahills,” the statement said.
It added: “We consider targeting the resistance… is a hostile action that falls in favor of the occupiers.”
The statement urged to reveal the fate of fate of Moussa al-Sadr (a popular Shiite cleric who vanished 33 years ago during a trip to Libya).”
They demanded the immediate release of him and his two companions from the Libyan prisons.
Tehran's two-day International Conference on Palestine was attended by parliamentarians from some 20 nations and figures including Khaled Meshaal, exiled chief of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.
At the opening on Saturday, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated the Islamic republic's opposition to the division of Palestinian lands.
"Any plan which would lead to the division of Palestine is unacceptable," Khamenei said. "Any plan that would create two states ... would be accepting a Zionist state in the land of Palestine."
Ahmadinejad, who is known for making fiery anti-Israeli speeches, on Sunday dubbed the Jewish state a cancerous tumor" which had to be removed to save the region and the world.
Iran has not recognized Israel since its 1979 Islamic revolution and backs Palestinian and Lebanese militant groups fighting against the Jewish state.
