Speaking at a press conference held in Beirut on February 24, FathAli further said that Iran would give a sum of $30,000 to "any family whose house was destroyed by the occupation, because one of its members participated in the Jerusalem Intifada against the Zionist occupiers."
Amb. Mohammad FathAli: "We extend our utmost respect and appreciation to the jihad-fighting Palestinian people, especially in Jerusalem and in Palestine, for their great jihad and sacrifices, their martyrs, prisoners, and wounded.

"The Iranian Islamic Republic, as has been its practice, and in keeping with its support for the oppressed Palestinian people – support that was never stopped and was never influenced by anything, and despite all the years of oppressive sanctions – has decided to give sums of money, which would help the jihad-fighting Palestinian people to remain steadfast on its land, to confront the occupation and to alleviate its suffering. The decision is, first of all, to provide the family of every martyr of the Jerusalem Intifada against the occupation with the sum of $7,000.
"Secondly, a sum of $30,000 will be given to any family whose house was destroyed by the occupation because one of its members participated in the Jerusalem Intifada against the Zionist occupiers."
