He added: "Al-Aqsa Flood was a separator between two eras, the first, the policy of the fait accompli on the free Palestinian people with iron and fire, and another page that confirmed that the field proved the high level of readiness to defend the usurped right, and to inform the international community more than before of the right of the Palestinian people to the land of their ancestors and fathers, which they cannot giv e up no matter how severe the circumstances and the hardships." Al-Hakim continued: "On this occasion, we stress our solidarity and support for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples, and we affirm Iraq's support for the two brotherly peoples, as a reference, government and people, and its efforts to end the war, cease fire and mobilize public opinion towards the issues of the nation, and a salute of reverence to the heroic Palestinian people and their great sacrifices and a salute of honor to their martyrs, wounded and displaced persons who sacrificed their most precious and valuable things for the sake of the project and the cause and defending the right."
