Seyyed Hassan Khomeini made remarks during a meeting with Croatia’s chief cleric and grand Mufti Aziz Hasanovic, who was on a visit to Tehran.
Gaza remains the foremost and first issue of the Islamic world and be should kept alive by all Muslims, he said.
Seyyed Hassan Khomeini reminded the Muslim cleric that “you can better explain the issue of genocide in Gaza to others because of the history of the Serbian genocide.”
Seyyed Hassan Khomeini further stressed that Islamic Republic has always defended Muslims regardless of their sectarian affiliation.
“We must stand against the Shia-Sunni division of Muslim issues, and the religious and ethnic approach to issues is a deadly poison.”
The Israeli aggression on Gaza and Lebanon and the martyrdom of Hezbollah chief Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and the bitter developments unfolding across Syria have made the situation and circumstances complicated for the entire Muslim world, Seyyed Hassan Khomeini said.
Israel has long history of sowing discord among the Muslim countries and then making profit and benefit out of it to accomplish its vicious agenda in the region, the reputed scholar said.
Israel has always taken advantage of the greed of some Muslims towards each other, he said.
Seyyed Hassan Khomeini also criticized the military takeover of the Turkish-backed militants groups of Syria.
“Of course, I am familiar with the history of relations between Syria and Turkey, but Israel benefited the most from these recent events. Turkey acted very selfishly and in irresponsible manner and made wrong advantage of the weak conditions caused by the Palestinian issue,” he said.
"I don't think the Syrian issues will be easily resolved, and we hope that the results will not be more in favor of Israel than this."
The remarks come as Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)-led armed groups in late November, launched a large-scale offensive in the provinces of Idlib and Aleppo.
On December 8, they entered Damascus, after which government forces withdrew from the capital city.
The developments come as the situation remains very fluid and fragile across Syria, with potential risk for further clashes as sectarian sentiments continue to boil over amid the ongoing political instability and pressures on minority groups.
