Hawzah News Agency- Ayatollah Noori Hamedani urged the Muslim community to intensify their actions against the Zionist regime.

In a meeting with members of the Palestinian Committee 'Intifada and Quds ', Ayatollah Noori stated, "When dialogues and friendly admonishment do not improve the enemies' conduct, we are left with no other choice than to go for Jihad against them,"

"There are times when in order to defend your religion's glory and independence there's no other way than to fight the antagonists,"

"Regarding the issue of Palestine, Muslims need to show more solidarity and unity. Takfiri terrorists and Zionists have forged an alliance to fight true Islam and therefore Muslims are left with no other choice than to go for Jihad against them," he added.

Nowadays Zionists have gained enough power to close Al-Aqsa mosque to Palestinian Muslims; the reason for this increasing power lies in Muslims' weakness. Al-Aqsa mosque is an Islamic priority not just a Palestinian issue. Everyone must join forces to liberate Quds.

"As for the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, Al-Aqsa mosque also belongs to all Muslims. If we Muslims had displayed more unity and strength then Zionists wouldn't have dared to close al-Aqsa," the grand jurist said.

" It's essential that we make a serious effort in this regard; A Muslim country must not pledge allegiance to Israelis, this goes to prove the lack of unity amongst the Islamic Ummah. It's impossible to add up loyalty to both Islam and Israel, as the Holy Quran considers such claims untrue and such hypocrites are not Muslims,"    

"Imam Khomeini (RA) said, there will be no peace or prosperity in the Muslim world as long as 'the Cancerous tumor of Israel' exists, " the source of emulation added.
