Palestinian President Condemns Iran's Khamenei Over October 7 Remarks

The Palestinian presidency criticized Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for praising Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel, accusing Iran of exploiting the Palestinian struggle for its own interests. The Palestinian Authority emphasized that such actions do not serve their national goals of ending the occupation and establishing an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Iran, a major backer of Hamas, has denied coordinating the attack, which led to a significant escalation in the Gaza conflict.
