Against the backdrop of the rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei called for the elimination of Israel.
On Eid Al-Fitr, March 31, he wrote on X: "The Zionist criminal gang must be totally eliminated from Palestine."[1]
The same day, he said in his Eid Al-Fitr speech:
"The criminal, evil, and murderous group must be uprooted from Palestine and the region, and this will happen with God's mercy, and the efforts in this matter are a religious, moral, and human obligation that is binding on all people."[2]
