"Palestinian Leaders Express Confidence in Victory Over Israel with Iran's Support"
TL;DR
The leader of the Iran-backed Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, Ziad al-Nakhalah, vowed victory over Israel in the war in Gaza during talks in Tehran with Iran’s foreign minister. Iran provides financial and political support to Islamic Jihad and Hamas, and both groups emphasized the need for intensifying resistance and thanked other anti-Israeli militant groups for their support. The U.N Security Council adopted a resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire and the unconditional release of hostages in Gaza, where nearly six months of war have caused widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis.
