Iran says Gaza truce shows Israel 'weakening'

November 23, 2012 00:42

Israel's acceptance of a truce in Gaza shows the Jewish state is "increasingly weakening," a senior aide to Iran's supreme leader said today, reaffirming support for the anti-Israel resistance.

"Accepting defeat (only) after eight days shows the Zionist regime is increasingly weakening," Saeed Jalili, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and a close aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in a statement published by state broadcaster IRIB. He also congratulated the Palestinians on the truce, saying: "It shows the resistance is getting stronger on a daily basis."
