Iran held an alternative summit on Gaza, and urged muslims to "fight Israel" to its destruction.

Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said talking will not help the Palelstinians. The only way forward is "war" with the Zionist state.

Khamenei called on the International Court to arrest Israeli leaders for their war crimes in Gaza.

He said negotiating with Israel is fruitless. United States this "a cancerous tumour" in the Middle East.

He also said that in 1948, the United Nations had played "vital part in an injustice" of creating the "tyrant state" of Israel.

The world body has been exposed and earned a bad name.

Iran labelled U.N. "instrument of deception for Israel".

Iranian President Ahmadinejad said creation of Israel was a major deception by imperial powers who wanted to dominate the entire world.

However, he offered a more conciliatory tone than the Ayatollah. Ahmadinejad said that a "referrendum would be acceptable" as a solution to settle the Palestine issue.

His boss, the Ayatollah condemned American leaders President Bush and President Obama of using government to defend terrorism. They pledged "unconditional commitment" to Israel and aid oppression of the Palestinians.

Chilling war rhetoric indicates Iran may be gearing up for a major confrontation with Israel.

Hamas was invited to Iran after the group was shunned by U.S. and Israel in their conference on Gaza.

The Tehran participants slammed the "pro-Israel conference in Egypt".

Speaker Ali Akbar mocked European and American leaders with their Arabs allies who participated in that conference and staged that "puppet show".

He said Egypt gathering actually approved the Zionist regime's atrocities in Gaza.
