TEHRAN, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- An Iranian spiritual leader says peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority make for a coverup for Israeli crimes against Palestinians.
"The United States and the West just sit back and watch the suppression of the Palestinian nation and yet they arrange talks for peace, what peace?" Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said. "Between which people?"
Khamenei praised the Palestinian resistance against Tel Aviv, saying that "pressure cannot crush these people's resistance," Iran's Press TV said.
Last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad derided the peace talks and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, The Jerusalem Post reported.
