MEHR: The newly-elected Iran's vice president Mohammadreza Aref left Iran for Qatar on Friday.
The government and people of Iran will continue to be on the same path alongside the dear people of Palestine, Aref said before his departure to Qatar.
He also expressed hope that the supreme goal of the Islamic Ummah, which is the liberation of Al-Quds will be realized.
"The message of our nation is solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine and the liberation of Al-Quds," he added.
Aref is scheduled to attend the funeral ceremony of Hamas' Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in Doha on Friday.
Qatar is to hold funeral ceremonies for Hamas peace negotiator Ismail Haniyeh after his assassination by Israel that has pushed West Asian deeper into an escalation of the conflict.
Ismail Haniyeh, the political bureau chief of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, and one of his bodyguards were assassinated in their residence in the Iranian capital early on Wednesday.
Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance group's political chief, had resided in Doha along with other members of the Hamas political office.
