TEHRAN, July 2 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf Thursday reiterated the country's support for the Palestinian cause, Tasnim news agency reported.

The passage of "time has proven that the Zionists (Israel) understand only the language of resistance, and that compromise and surrender to them will get nowhere," Qalibaf said in a telephone conversation with Ismail Haniyeh, politburo chief of Hamas movement.

He reiterated Iran's support for the Palestinian people, noting that resistance will thwart the "plots" such as the so-called "Deal of the Century" and Israel's plans to annex parts of the West Bank.

For his part, Haniyeh praised Iran for its unwavering support for the Palestinian resistance, saying that people of Palestine and the Hamas movement will continue resistance until the eviction of Israel from the occupied territories. Enditem
