Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya that Israel is sliding toward disappearance.
"The Zionist regime is on the slope of disappearance and the freedom movement and the struggles of the Palestinian people have more success every day," Ahmadinejad told Haniya on the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the Asian Games in Doha on Friday.
Neither Iran nor Haniya's ruling Islamist Hamas faction recognise Israel.
"It is the religious duty of all Muslims to stand by the Palestinians," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the official IRNA agency on Saturday.
"The continued crimes of the Zionist regime will only accelerate the downfall of this fake regime."
Ahmadinejad, who has prompted international anger by dismissing the Holocaust as a "myth" used to justify the creation of Israel, added: "This regime was created in order to make tension in the region and to carry out the policies of the US and Britain."
Haniya, whose government is internationally boycotted over its refusal to lay down arms, recognise Israel and abide by earlier peace agreements, is on his first foreign tour since taking power in January, with Tehran reportedly one of his destinations.
During Palestinian foreign minister Mahmud Zahar's visit to Tehran two weeks ago, the Islamic republic gave 120 million dollars in aid to the cash-strapped Hamas-led government and voiced its readiness to give more.
Israel's arch-foe Iran denies allegations that it supplies arms to Palestinian militant groups, saying its support is of a moral nature only.
