It also highlights the injustices endured by the Palestinian people, shedding light on the oppression and suffering they face. The study discusses the positions of prominent Shiite authorities worldwide, including Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, the leading figure of the religious seminary in Iraq, and Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
