The Islamic Republic of Iran has made an announcement that should make for some tasty developments: in its support for the Intifada in Palestine, and amid the participation of the representatives of several Palestinian factions, the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon announced that Iran will be providing financial support for all families of Palestinian martyrs, 7000$ to be exact, and 30000$ for those whose homes were destroyed by the Israeli army.

During the past few months, a great number of Palestinians have risked their lives as they've taken to newmeasures in fighting the Israeli army. Lacking weapons as they were, they resorted to stabbings, car rammings, and less frequently, shootings, to fight against the Israeli army, with a great many shot dead by the Israeli army as a result.

In the past few months, Israeli security forces have killed at least 168 Palestinians, 111 of whom Israel claims were assailants, while most of the others were shot dead during anti-Israeli protests.

The aid, ambassador Fathali said, is to be conveyed to the families through the Palestinian branch of the "Shahid Institution" (Martyr Institution), which was first established in Iran in 1992.

Hamas's foreign relations chief, Osama Hamdan, who participated at the conference, thanked Iran for its initiative in supporting the Palestinian Intifada, saying that this is not Iran's first gesture of support of Palestine, whose cause it treats as its very own.

On the other hand, the Israeli war minister denounced the move, saying that by supporting the Palestinians, Iran is striking regional security, with the foreign ministry also denouncing the move.
