While the Sunni-Shiite War continues, approaching almost 1,400 years, there are moments of conciliation, points of common agreement, that can overcome, at least temporarily, more than a millenium of conflict.

Martin Kramer has discovered such a moment:

Ismail Haniyah, Hamas "prime minister," finds a common denominator with his hosts on his Iran visit: " I am announcing from Azadi Square in Tehran that we will never recognize Israel… The resistance will continue until all the Palestinian land, including Al-Quds [Jerusalem], is liberated and all the refugees return."

‎"Haniyeh took part Saturday in Iran's commemoration of its 1979 Islamic Revolution in Tehran. After thanking the Islamic Republic for supporting the resistance movements, he assured that Hamas 'will never recognize Israel.'" 

"They want us to recognize the Israeli occupation and cease resistance but, as the representative of the Palestinian people and in the name of all the world's freedom seekers, I am announcing from Azadi Square in Tehran that we will never recognize Israel,” he said.

Haniyeh further emphasized that resistance and jihad are the strategic choice for this nation and the only path for liberating Al-Quds.

“The resistance will continue until all the Palestinian land, including Al-Quds, is liberated and all the refugees return," he said.

Indicating that the Iranian people are a partner in the Arab victory against the Zionist entity, the Palestinian prime minister rejected the American and Zionist threats to the Islamic Republic, and the Western interference in the Arab and Islamic region, and stressed the importance of Islamic unity.

“The Islamic Revolution in Iran, the resistance, and the Arab spring assure that this is the period of the people, and that no one could stand against the will of the people,” he added.

Moreover, Haniyeh continued addressing the Iranian people saying: “We come to you, o Muslim people, on this day, to brace the victories from the blessed land of Palestine to the Islamic revolution in Iran.”
