(Worthy News) – Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi met with senior Palestinian officials in Damascus on Thursday, expressing his country’s continued support for them while Iran and Syria signed multiple long-term cooperation agreements. Damascus-based Palestinian official Khalid ʽAbd al-Majid, head of a splinter faction of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Front, told The Associated Press that the delegation updated Raisi on the situation in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Iran has long provided financial and military backing to select Palestinian factions.

ʽAbd al-Majid, who attended the talks, stated that Raisi confirmed to the Palestinian officials, including top leaders from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, that Iran’s support would persist.

Raisi’s two-day visit to Syria was intended to solidify economic ties between Tehran and Damascus by signing agreements spanning oil, agriculture, railways, and free trade zones. [ Source: Media Line (Read More…) ]
