AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani on Wednesday called Palestine the top issue of the Islamic world and humanity, whose value is highlighted in the face of “inhumane Western behaviors.”
Bagheri Kani made the remarks in a meeting with leaders of Palestinian resistance movements in Lebanon, noting that the Palestinian front is not merely the battlefield between the Palestinian people and the occupying regime of Israel, but it is actually a confrontation between Muslims and the global arrogance.
Everybody who fights by the use of writing or speaking in favor of Palestine, is confronting the invasion and occupation, he said, underlining that Palestine is a strategic challenge for the Liberalism, because the Palestinian issue questions liberalists’ claims on human rights and freedom.
The Zionist regime represents Liberalism in our region and the regime's behavior is a blatant example of inhumane crimes against the Palestinian people, the Iranian diplomat argued.
Western countries, particularly the US and the European states, are facing an important question from the world public opinion as to why they keep silent on the Zionist regime’s crimes and continue to back it if they say they defend human rights, Bagheri Kani said.
According to the deputy FM, the Zionist regime backed by its Western allies attempts to make up for its failures in the Palestinian front through creating relationships with certain Arab and Islamic states.
The Zionist regime opines that it can achieve legitimacy by the use of such relations, but the majority of people in the Islamic nations reject any sort of ties with the regime, he stated.
The Iranian official also stressed that unity among Palestinian resistance groups, as well as certain Islamic nations, should turn into a strategy in the fight against the Zionist regime.
