The short documentary, titled “Guest of Palestine Street,” depicts the final interview with the martyr Ismail Haniyeh, conducted by the KHAMENEI.IR media platform in Arabic. This interview, filmed in the presence of Mr. Ziyad al-Nakhala, took place shortly after a joint meeting between these prominent resistance figures and the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution. The documentary also includes a curated collection of photographs documenting the martyr’s interactions with the Supreme Leader over a span of two decades, from 2006 until their final meeting on July 30, 2024. These images capture various meetings that concentrated on devising strategies for supporting and empowering the Palestinian resistance.

The film highlights the significant role played by the Islamic Republic of Iran in strengthening the Palestinian resistance through financial assistance, military support, and expert guidance. This support is vividly exemplified by the late General Qasem Soleimani, who was profoundly committed to the Palestinian cause, considering it a paramount issue in Islam. Soleimani’s dedication to the Palestinian struggle was evident in his relentless efforts to advocate for Muslim unity and a unified response against the Zionist occupation of these sacred lands. His deep involvement earned him the title of “Martyr of Quds” from Haniyeh, reflecting the high regard and profound impact of his contributions to the Palestinian resistance.

Alongside the late martyr Ismail Haniyeh, prominent Palestinian resistance leaders in Gaza, including Yahya Sinwar, Ahmad Jibril, Muhammad Deif, and Baha Abu al-Ata, have collectively acknowledged the significant role played by General Qassem Soleimani and the Islamic Republic of Iran in supporting the Palestinian cause. These leaders, representing both military and political factions, highlight Soleimani’s pivotal contributions to unifying Palestinians around their cause and addressing internal disagreements to prevent exploitation by adversaries.

Mohammad Hamid, a member of the political bureau of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, provided a detailed account of the advancements in Palestinian military capabilities facilitated by Soleimani and his team. He noted that previously, the manufacture of explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) relied on rudimentary methods and individual initiatives. Innovations in rocket technology were initially sporadic and based on outdated military and scientific knowledge.

Hamid elaborated on how the Quds Force, under the leadership of the martyr General Qassem Soleimani, played a transformative role. He described how the Quds Force trainers diligently sourced materials and collaborated with Palestinian fighters to refine their techniques. They meticulously simulated operational conditions to enhance the performance and accuracy of missile development efforts. This process led to significant improvements in the materials used for manufacturing, resulting in more precise targeting and increased effectiveness of the missiles.

As a result of these efforts, the Palestinian resistance significantly expanded its missile capabilities, acquiring longer-range and more effective weaponry. This advancement became an integral part of the defensive strategy for the Palestinian people, enabling them to effectively deter the Zionist occupation forces that infringe upon their territory.

The testimony underscores the profound impact of Soleimani’s expertise and the comprehensive support provided by the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has been instrumental in bolstering the resilience and tactical capabilities of the Palestinian resistance.

Documentary Focus: The Plight of Gaza and the Enduring Support of the Islamic Republic of Iran

The short documentary titled “Guest of Palestine Street” also provides a stark portrayal of the harsh realities faced by the people of Gaza under Zionist occupation, capturing the profound suffering inflicted upon its inhabitants. A deeply emotional segment features Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reflecting on the gravity of these injustices, stating candidly, “When television broadcasts these scenes, I often find it unbearable to continue watching. The resilience of Gaza’s people has elevated the Palestinian cause to the forefront of global issues, despite the enemy’s resistance. Their remarkable perseverance has astonished the world.”

In a heartfelt tribute, the late martyr Ismail Haniyeh conveyed his immense gratitude towards the Islamic Republic of Iran for its steadfast and unconditional support, describing Iran as an unwavering bastion of strength for the Palestinian resistance. Haniyeh called upon people of conscience worldwide to champion justice, oppose oppression, and advocate for unity among Palestinian factions both politically and militarily. He stressed the critical need for Islamic unity to bolster collective resistance efforts.

The documentary further underscores the significance of Palestinian unity through the presence of various Palestinian resistance factions in Iran, symbolizing a unified front. Notably, Haniyeh introduced a group of Palestinian prisoners who were released as part of a prisoner exchange involving Gilad Shalit, a Zionist soldier captured by the resistance and exchanged for over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. Among these freed prisoners was Yahya Sinwar, who had endured 25 years of imprisonment and had been sentenced to 430 years.

The Documentary Reflects Deep Historical Bonds and Solidarity Between Palestinian Resistance Leaders and Iran

The documentary profoundly highlights the deep-seated historical connections and bonds of solidarity that link Palestinian resistance leaders with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the Iranian people. The late martyr Ismail Haniyeh shed light on the prominent role the Palestinian cause occupies in both the Supreme Leader’s thoughts and the hearts of the Iranian populace. This sentiment is powerfully illustrated by the grand funeral held for Haniyeh in Tehran, where massive processions, estimated in the millions, honored this emblematic figure of Palestinian resilience and resistance.

The unwavering support from the Islamic Republic of Iran is a well-established aspect of its foreign policy. Iran has consistently provided extensive support to the Palestinian cause across multiple dimensions—military, political, media, economic, and popular. This comprehensive assistance has been openly acknowledged by Palestinian leaders. For instance, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has repeatedly expressed gratitude towards Iran, noting that Tehran “has always been generous” in providing material, logistical, and moral support to resistance factions. Sinwar emphasized that Iran’s contributions—comprising financial aid, weaponry, and expertise—have been crucial, particularly in the absence of similar support from other Arab nations.

The documentary underscores Iran’s deep-rooted commitment to the Palestinian cause and highlights the indispensable role of Iranian assistance in reinforcing the resistance against Zionist occupation.
