[Al Arabiya Latest] Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal said on Tuesday that Islamist groups would back | "We are all parts of the same body ... We all should fight against the mutual enemy." |
Iran if the country was attacked by Israel as the United Nations said 44 percent of the West Bank was occupied by the Israeli military and Jewish settlers. "All Islamist militant groups will form a united front with Iran against Israel if it attacks Iran," Meshaal told a news conference. "We are all parts of the same body ... We all should fight against the mutual enemy. But how, the leaders will decide based on our capacities."
Israel has said it was readying all options to try to force Iran to halt its atomic programme, which the West fears is a cover to build nuclear bombs. Iran denies the charge.
Meshaal said Israel was a danger for the Middle East region. "God willing a regional resistance has the capacity to confront this danger," Meshaal said in the televised news conference. |
