Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Tuesday that the ongoing Gaza crisis will lead to Israel's annihilation, the official IRNA news agency reported.
"Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza which will lead to definite annihilation of the regime," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.
Ahmadinejad made the remarks in the Majlis (parliament) while presenting a bill on economic developments.
The resistance of the movements of Palestinians would be a beginning to great developments in the region to result in Gazans victory in the future, he said.
The president vowed that "Iran would follow up a fair solution to the ongoing human crisis in the Gaza Strip" and "is asking the International Criminal Court to bring to justice Israeli leaders for the war crimes they perpetrated in Gaza."
Ahmadinejead reiterated Tehran's political and spiritual support for the Palestinian nation.
Earlier on Sunday, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei also issued a religious decree saying that "whoever fights for Gaza today and killed is a martyr."
Carrying banners with anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans, thousands of Iranians, including university students, staged a rally in Tehran on Monday morning to condemn the Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip.
The Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip was under intensive Israeli air strikes for the fourth successive day on Tuesday, during which some 360 Palestinians have so far been killed in the powerful offensive which Israel said was aimed at halting nearly daily cross-border rocket attacks by Palestinian militants.
Hamas is strongly backed by Iran which does not recognize Israel as a state of the international community.
