The government of Palestine received $120 million of aid from
Iran. Mahmoud al Zahari, foreign minister of Palestine, told Haaretz
Israeli newspaper on November 16.

According to him, Iran promised to continue rendering financial aid
to Palestine. In April 2006, Tehran promised $50 million of financial
aid to Palestine to compensate the losses that this country suffered
as a result of the cease of assistance from the West.

USA and EU ceased rendering assistance to Palestine in the beginning
of this year after the victory of Hamas in the parliamentary elections,
as Hamas doesn’t recognize the right of Israel’s existence.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
