TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Ambassador to Beirut Mohammad Fathali underlined the importance of the axis of resistance to confront any warmongering of the enemy in the Middle East region, and warned against the plots hatched to eliminate the Palestinian resistance movement."The region is witnessing dangerous plots and complicated developments which aim to destroy the Palestinian resistance," Fathali said in a meeting with a delegation of the Committee for Supporting the Palestinian Resistance presided by Hassan Hobollah in Beirut on Tuesday.
The Iranian ambassador called on the Palestinian nation and resistance battalions to maintain their vigilance with regard to regional developments.
Hobollah, for his part, hailed Iran for its role in supporting the Palestinian cause and soothing the sufferings of the Palestinian nation, and said, "Iran will remain a strong fort for the resistance against the Zionist occupation."
Last week, the Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, in a letter to Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani asked for Tehran's support against the intensified aggressive moves made by the Israeli regime.
"Given the tragic situation in the Middle-East region, unfortunately at present the situation of Palestine is not under the focus of the political circles and is no more a priority for the region and the world's media," Hamas's representative in Iran Khalid al-Qoddoumi said in a letter to Larijani on Sunday.
"Misusing the situation, the Zionist enemy has intensified its attacks against the Palestinians under different pretexts and is attempting to take advantage of the regional situation to its interests in the best possible form," he added.
Qoddoumi pointed to some instances of the Zionist regime's recent atrocities against the Palestinian people, and called for Iran's increased support for them.
Also on Saturday, Hamas Politburo Chief Khalid Mashaal voiced his deep concern over the recent attacks by the Israeli security forces on innocent civilians in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and called on Tehran to continue extending its full support for the Palestinians.
In a letter to Irans President Hassan Rouhani, Mashaal strongly criticized the mounting atrocities of Tel Aviv against the defenseless Palestinian civilians.
Mashaal further asked the Iranian president and nation to continue their support for the Palestinian nation to enable them to resist against the Zionist occupiers.
Over 300 Palestinians, including Hamas members and lawmakers, have been detained in recent days.
