TEHRAN: Iran said on Wednesday that Palestinian fighters had emerged the victors and brought their Israeli foe "to its knees" during the bloody 50-day Gaza conflict.
"The heroic Palestinian people have forged a new era with the victory of the resistance which has brought the Zionist regime to its knees," the foreign ministry said in a statement.
"This victory prepares the way for the final liberation of all the occupied lands especially Quds (Jerusalem)," it said.
After seven weeks of the deadliest Israeli-Palestinian violence in a decade, a long-term ceasefire took hold at 1600 GMT on Tuesday, sparking festivities around the Gaza Strip.
