Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is calling on all Muslim-majority countries to support Palestinians militarily and financially, following Israel's latest bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
"Muslim states must sincerely support the Palestinian people, through military ...or financial support ...or in rebuilding Gaza's infrastructure," Khamenei said in a statement carried by local media.
He also urged individual Muslims to demand that their governments back Palestine.
