Pompeo Says Khamenei Does Not Care about Progress for Palestinians


(Radio Farda) Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei tweeted, "The plot of the 'Deal of the Century,' which is being worked on by the oppressive U.S. and its traitorous cohorts, is a crime committed against humankind, not just the Palestinian nation." U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responded on Sunday that "Khamenei's faux concern for the Palestinian people runs so deep that under his reign of terror he provided less than $20,000 in aid since 2008, while sending millions to Hamas and other terrorists. In contrast, the U.S. provided $6.3 billion in support to Palestinians since 1994." Khamenei said during a recent meeting with a Hamas delegation that Palestinians who used to throw stones against Israel are now using precision missiles, "and that is progress." Pompeo responded: "Khamenei doesn't see 'progress' as prosperity for the Palestinian people, but Palestinian terrorists switching from rocks to rockets to kill more Jews."
