In a sermon during the Eid ul-Fitr prayers, which mark the end of Ramadan, at the campus of the University of Tehran on Friday, the Leader said, “These talks like previous talks will certainly produce no results but trampling the Palestinians’ rights and encouraging the aggressors to take more criminal actions and step up the crackdown.”
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators held their first negotiations in nearly three years in Washington on July 30, according to Reuters.
The sides will resume the “peace talks” in al-Quds (Jerusalem) on August 14, the U.S. State Department said on Thursday.
Commenting on the Egyptian crisis, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the likelihood of the outbreak of a civil war in Egypt had grown, adding that it could prove disastrous for the Arab country.
In addition, he strongly condemned the killing of the people in the crisis-hit country.
He added that Egyptian people, scholars, intellectuals, and political and religious groups should try to help resolve the crisis and should not allow foreign interference in the internal affairs of the country.
The Leader also met with a number of Iranian officials and ambassadors of Muslim countries in Tehran on Friday, during which he said that faith in God and unity were the main factors which could help nations resist the enemies’ plots against Muslim countries.
