(Note: Repeated item from 2008/02/12)

Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei early in the month considered the ongoing Gaza siege and the ensuing Israeli bloodshed in the area as an immediate outcome of Washington's wrong policies in the Middle East and its shameful Annapolis conference.

Ayatollah Khamenei called on the Islamic governments to join ranks to break the Gaza siege, adding that the Egyptian nation and government bear a heavy responsibility in this regard.

The Islamic Revolution Leader urged the Muslim nations to give backing to the Egyptian nation and government so that they could fulfill the undertaking.

"At time when the Gaza population are enduring fire and blood following the visit of the American President to the region, there would be no use in the negotiations of the regional countries with America and the usurper Zionist regime," Ayatollah Khamenei noted.

Ayatollah Khamenei cautioned the Arab governments to beware not to play into the hands of the arrogance against the people of Gaza otherwise shame would linger on their forehead forever.

The Islamic Revolution Leader considered resistance and perseverance as the only alternative for the Palestinians to gain freedom.

"The perseverance of the Palestinians and the Gaza people in the face of the immense economic pressure and bloodshed is indeed praiseworthy," Ayatollah Khamenei appreciated, urging the Palestinian nation however to be wary of the enemy conspiracies to drive a wedge between the Palestinian nation and their elected government (Hamas). the shame of the issue would linger on their forehead forever.
