Qalibaf made the remarks in a meeting in Tehran with visiting Secretary-General of Palestine’s Islamic Jihad Movement Ziyad al-Nakhalah.
Congratulating al-Nakhalah on the recent victories of the Palestinian nation in the recent 12-day war against the Zionist regime of Israel, the Iranian speaker said that the Zionist regime did not expect such a defeat and therefore the Palestinian resistance came so much pain to them.
The Iranian parliament supports any approaches that would lead to further unity among the Palestinian movements, Qalibaf said.
The Palestinian side, for his part, hailed Iran's support for the Palestinian cause, referring to the support by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian people, and officials for the oppressed people of Palestine.
Al-Nakhalah pointed to the effective role of martyred Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in Palestine’s resistance against the Zionist regime, saying the victories of the Palestinian people and fighters would not have been possible without the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
