NOURNEWS- The following text is part of Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's FM's speech at the emergency meeting of the United Nations General Assembly:
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's FM: Unfortunately, Western countries call the Palestinian Liberation Forces, terrorists.
We have been witnessing the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and West Bank for about three weeks. Today, America and Western countries support the killing machine of Israel. Instead of sending bombs and missiles to Israel, America should seek to end the conflict.
I warn the US that if the scope of the conflict is not controlled, they will not stay safely outside of it. I say to the Americans, who is looking for war today?
The crime in Gaza must stop immediately.
Hamas is ready to release civilian prisoners. The world should pressure Israel to release 6,000 Palestinians who are imprisoned by it.
The nation of Palestine has the right of self-determination and can decide on its independence. The inalienable right to self-determination is permanent and cannot be lost.
Prolonging the occupation does not create any rights for the said occupier. The foreign minister of Iran continued his speech and said: The full and comprehensive right of the Palestinian crisis is only solved with the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the entire land of Palestine.
The Palestinian nation has the legitimate right to resist the occupation. Armed resistance against the occupation is the undeniable right of the Palestinian people.
The US has prevented the Security Council from performing its duties dozens of times. America, as the unconditional supporter of Israel, has been the cause of the failures of the United Nations, especially the Security Council, in upholding the rights of the Palestinians.
The entire land of Palestine from the Dead Sea to the Jordan River belongs to the Palestinian people. The only solution to this crisis is to establish an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has proposed holding a referendum among all the residents of Palestine.
The lawful right of defense is a ridiculous joke for the Zionist regime.
Occupation has transformed into a brutal apartheid.
The recent action of Hamas against the occupiers is legitimate, and it is within their inherent right.
The Zionist regime has committed all four major international crimes.
Amir-Abdollahian: The Al-Aqsa storm operation is only a response and retaliation to the crimes commissioned by the Zionist regime.
Those who talk about the need to prevent the spread of war should put pressure on the Zionist regime.
The crimes of the Zionist regime are deliberate and aimed at taking revenge and collective punishment against the people of Palestine.
Israel's actions are a clear example of war crimes and genocide.
We warn about the consequences of American support to Tel Aviv.
America is managing the current war.
America is not in a position to call others to exercise restraint.
The result of any normalization of relations with Tel Aviv is doomed to fail.
Leader of Hamas have announced their readiness to release civilian prisoners.
We are ready to play our role for peace and stability in the region.
Iran along with Qatar and Turkey is ready to play an effective role.
The 6,000 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel must be freed.
