Newsweek, 2023 July 3
Event
As deadly violence flared in the West Bank, Iran has asserted that Palestinians could achieve their goals in the decades-long territorial dispute with Israel only through the use of force, something Tehran would support if asked.
“Based on Iran‘s assessment, Palestinians cannot regain their seized rights from the Israeli regime through negotiation, as the Israeli regime only responds to force,”
the Iranian Mission to the United Nations told Newsweek.
“Therefore, Iran supports any request for assistance from the Palestinian resistance.”
Clashes erupted overnight Sunday as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a rare, large-scale operation using ground and air assets to target suspected armed Palestinian factions in the occupied city of Jenin, home to a sprawling refugee camp at the heart of more than a year of heightened Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
Comment
This week Israeli Defence Force spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said
“Iran is playing a role of negative influence and is directly supplying”
Palestinian fighters. Islamic Jihad has received
“100 percent Iranian support”
and that
“also some of the force buildup of Hamas is based on Iranian money.”
“Iran has a huge motivation that there will be terror activities in the West Bank,”
Hagari said.
“It’s in the benefit of Iran.
Iran tries to bring money and arms inside the West Bank.”
Tehran funds and commands almost all of Israel’s immediate and nearby enemies. It openly states it wants Israel’s total destruction. It openly arms terrorist groups who also have this sole aim. There is little doubt that the Iran is being referenced in Psalm 83 as the nation that supports 10 tribes (all nearby enemies of Israel) – Assur refers to Syria, Iraq and Iran…
Bible Quote
For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. (Psalm 83:5-8)
