Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the US government’s plan to remove the existing Palestinian population from Gaza and rebuild the devastated enclave into a “Riviera” is “stupid” and “will lead to nowhere.”

“Global public opinion is in favor of Palestine and under these circumstances, no plan will succeed without the consent of the resistance and the people of Gaza,” Khamenei said on Tuesday according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency.
