Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on Wednesday for world Muslims to join the Palestinian "resistance" against Israel as he kicked off a two-day summit in aid of war-torn Gaza.His statement came as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas and premier Salam Fayyad in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on her first visit to the region since taking office.She had met Israeli leaders in Jerusalem on Tuesday."The only way to save Palestine is resistance," Khamenei said in his address to open the global summit Tehran organised in aid of Gaza and the Palestinians. "Support and help to Palestinians is a mandatory duty of all Muslims. I now tell all Muslim brothers and sisters to join forces and break the immunity of the Zionist criminals," Khamenei said.He also called for putting Israeli political and military leaders on trial for the December-January assault on Gaza in which 1,300 Palestinians, including hundreds of children, and 13 Israelis were killed."This is the first step that should be taken," Khamenei said.Iran does not recognise Israel, and Khamenei has repeatedly rejected a two-state solution to solve the Israel-Palestinian issue.Clinton reiterated support for the two-state answer this week.Khamenei said any negotiations to solve the issue were fruitless, adding that the United States and Britain committed the "crime of creation and supporting this cancerous tumour (Israel).""Even the new president of the United States who came to power with the motto of changing the (George W.) Bush administration's policies talks about unconditional commitment to secure Israel. This is defending terrorism by a government."To read more go to:
