Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei dismisses the idea of a two-state solution in Palestine, saying any plan to divide Palestinian lands is rejected.

In an opening address to the 5th International Conference on Palestinian Intifada in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Saturday, Ayatollah Khamenei said, "Our declaration is the freedom of Palestine not the freedom of parts of Palestine."

"The two-state proposal, which they are lending a cloak of legitimacy to, by 'accepting the UN membership of a Palestinian state' means nothing but succumbing to the demands of the Zionists, in other words accepting the Zionist government in Palestine," Ayatollah Khamenei added.

Acting Palestinian Authority (PA) chief Mahmoud Abbas officially submitted his bid for UN recognition of a Palestinian state to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Sept. 23.

The Leader further stressed that the two-state solution means trampling on the rights of the Palestinian nation, overlooking the historical rights of Palestinian refugees, and even threatening the rights of the Palestinians living in the occupied territories.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that one of the outcomes of the two-state solution would be the sustenance of the "cancerous tumor" of Israel and a "permanent threat" to the Muslim world particularly regional nations.

The Leader said that any plan must be based on the principle of "All of Palestine for all Palestinians."

Ayatollah Khamenei said Iran's proposal for the resolution of the Palestinian issue was a "clear and logical plan and in accordance with the political conventions accepted by world public opinion."

"We do not propose a classical war involving the armies if Muslim countries nor do we propose throwing immigrant Jews into the sea, and of course not the arbitration of the UN or other international organizations."

"We propose a referendum for the Palestinian nation. As any other nation, the Palestinian nation is entitled to determine their faith and the system of governance in their country," the Leader added.
