Iran Leveraging Diplomacy to End Israeli War on Gaza: FM
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian highlighted Tehran’s diplomatic efforts to end the Zionist regime’s atrocities against the people of Gaza.
During a visit to Lebanon in the second leg of a regional tour, Amirabdollahian held a meeting with a number of senior Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials in Beirut on Friday to discuss the latest developments in Palestine.
The top Iranian diplomat said the Palestinian people have an inalienable right to resistance against occupation.
He added that just as some Western officials have admitted, the Al-Aqsa Storm operation proved that Palestine is alive and in spite of some claims, the Palestinian issue will not slip into oblivion due to normalization deals between certain countries and the Zionist regime.
Amirabdollahian further noted that a number of Western countries even share the view that Al-Aqsa Storm was a response to Netanyahu’s extremist moves, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.
The top Iranian diplomat outlined the diplomatic efforts by the Islamic Republic of Iran to end the war crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the people of Gaza, saying Tehran will proceed with its efforts.
The Palestinian officials also noted that the Al-Aqsa Storm operation was a natural reaction by the Palestinian nation’s resistance to the daily and continued crimes of the Zionist regime, specifically the extremist cabinet of Netanyahu against Palestinians and the regime’s frequent desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
They noted that despite the war crimes by the usurping Zionist regime against the oppressed people of Gaza, resistance groups have stood up strongly against the regime’s aggression, with their morale, motivation and capability being high as they press ahead down the path of resistance.
