NOURNEWS- Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says no new order will take hold in the region until the rights of the Palestinian people are upheld.
Raisi made the remarks during a phone conversation with his Syrian counterpart Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday night.
“Today, all those who had openly declared their relations with the Zionist regime under the pretext of defending the rights of the Palestinians have been disgraced,” he said.
“It has been proven to the whole world that the Zionist regime is in its weakest state,” he added.
According to Raisi, Israel suffered a blow during the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement’s Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, which he said was “unprecedented in its 75-year history.”
“In recent days, the extreme cabinet of this regime has broken all boundaries of audacity and shamelessness and committed great crimes,” he added.
On Saturday, Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise attack, in the occupied territories, saying it was a response to the regime’s violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds.
The Israeli regime responded by carrying out deadly strikes on the densely populated Gaza Strip, killing at least 1,200 people so far.
Israeli authorities also ordered a total blockade of Gaza to compensate for heavy losses suffered during Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
The Iranian president also called for unity among all Islamic and Arab countries as well as all the free people of the world to put an end to Israeli atrocities against the innocent people of Palestine.
The Islamic Republic, he said, is trying to establish such coordination as soon as possible by contacting the heads of Islamic countries.
President Raisi blamed the Palestinian people’s wrath on repeated attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against the al-Aqsa Mosque, daily killings of Palestinians and the extreme policies of the cabinet of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Today, the Zionists, contrary to all international treaties, have completely besieged Gaza and cut off the supplies of water, electricity, medicine, and fuel to the oppressed people of this region, while the self-styled advocates of human rights are trying to change the place of the oppressor and the oppressed through their double standards, which makes the Zionist regime arrogant and leads to the continuation of the genocide of Palestinians.”
For his part, President Assad said the great victory achieved by the resistance movement against the Israeli regime shows that the regime is much weaker than it reveals.
“Today, the most obvious issue before us is that all Arab and Islamic countries should agree on a single and clear position to support the rights of the Palestinian nation and the oppressed people of Gaza,” he said.
“We must use all our efforts to speed up the creation of this consensus and a unified position in support of the oppressed people of Palestine, because every hour of delay in this regard will cause the Zionist regime to commit more crimes against the oppressed people of Gaza and Palestinians,” he added.
