Iran FM: World witnessing Israeli regime's violence at Al-Aqsa Mosque everyday

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian blasted the Tel Aviv regime for continuing its atrocities against the Palestinians.

"We are witnessing Zionists crimes at Al-Aqsa Mosque on a daily basis," Amir Abdollahian said.

The Iranian foreign minister strongly condemned desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque by the Israeli regime.

Amir-Abdollahian expressed hope that on the occasion of International Quds Day, which will be marked on the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan, Islamic governments and parliaments as well as all Muslim nations will send a powerful message in support of Palestine and the holy Al-Quds and to condemn Zionists’ acts of aggression.

The Syrian foreign minister, for his part, strongly condemned the Israeli crimes in the Palestinian territories and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and praised the role and principled stance of the Iranian leadership as well as the government and people of Iran in supporting the Palestinian resistance.

In a relevant development on Wednesday, Amir Abdollahian in separate letters to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Hissein Brahim Taha and foreign ministers of Islamic states expressed deep concern over the crimes committed by the Zionist regime against the Palestinians.

In his letters, Amir Abdollahian voiced deep concern over the Tel Aviv regime’s raids at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound and the flare-up in attacks against the Palestinians during the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

He said that any violation of the holy places revered by Muslims as well as lacerating their feelings were rejected and unacceptable.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran …. in accordance with the international law … has put unwavering support for the liberation fight and resistance of the Palestinian people aimed at the full realization of their human rights among the planks of its foreign policy,” Amir Abdollahian added, condemning the regime’s violations in the strongest terms.

He said, in his letters, that the recent Israeli aggression clearly attests to the regime’s policy to alter the identity of al-Quds.

The Iranian foreign minister also called for immediate and firm action of the international community and the UN, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to support the Palestinians and urged the UN to immediately address the recent developments in the occupied territories.

The establishment of lasting and fair peace in the region is possible only if the occupation of Palestine ends, Palestinian refuges return to their homeland and an independent Palestinian state is established with al-Quds as its capital, concluded the letter.

Tensions have flared in recent days after Israeli police raided the al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

At least 170 Palestinians have been wounded and hundreds of others arrested since Israeli forces launched incursions into the mosque compound for the fourth consecutive day on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians have protested Israeli forces breaking into al-Aqsa Mosque, chanting slogans and calling for Arab and international support for al-Aqsa Mosque worshippers and those in the occupied territories facing intensified Israeli violence against Palestinians.
