Khamenei vows to continue supporting Palestinian resistance following Sinwar’s death
ANKARA (AA) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reaffirmed the commitment to support Palestinian resistance in the wake of the killing of Yahya Sinwar, the head of Hamas political bureau.
In a statement on X, Khamenei said “the loss of Yahya Sinwar is painful for the Resistance Front.”
But, he added, the “front didn’t halt its progress in the wake of the martyrdoms of eminent figures … Similarly, it won’t falter with Sinwar’s martyrdom either.”
He said Hamas “is alive and will stay alive” and also condoled with the family and “comrades” of Sinwar, who was killed in an Israeli military operation in southern Gaza earlier this week.
“As always, we will stand by the sincere Palestinian fighters,” Khamenei said.
Israel has killed more than 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza since last year, most of them children and women.
Hamas after the killing of Sinwar, who took charge after the July 31 assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, said Israeli captives will not be released unless the military campaign stops, Israeli forces withdraw and Palestinian prisoners held in Israel are freed.
