TEHRAN -- Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman said Friday the alarm has been sounded for the occupying regime of Israel and its Western backers, enumerating key recent developments in support of the Palestinian cause.
In a Twitter post, Nasser Kanaani pointed to four key developments that have “raised an alarm” for the regime and those who back the occupation.
The first two factors, according to the spokesman, are the “internal political and security crisis and impasse inside Israel,” and the “extension of anti-occupation resistance from Gaza to West Bank and occupied territories of 1948.”
He also cited the “globalization of hatred against the Israeli regime, some aspects of which can be seen on the sidelines of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar,” as well as the adoption of a resolution at the UN General Assembly to introduce the day of establishment of the Israeli regime as the day of Nakba.
The United Nations General Assembly this week voted in a favor of a pro-Palestinian resolution to commemorate Nakba Day, which marks the Zionist regime’s claiming existence in 1948. The Assembly adopted the resolution on Wednesday, with 90 votes in favor, 30 negative votes, and 47 abstentions.
Kanaani said “futile” attempts of the occupying regime of Israel and its allies to promote Iranophobia are aimed at providing “artificial respiration for dying Israel.”
The focus of the apartheid Zionist regime and its supporters on Iranophobia is a desperate and futile attempt to distract the public from the issue of Palatine and provide artificial respiration for dying Israel,” he asserted, referring to the hybrid war waged by Western powers against Iran in recent months.
The Zionist regime’s efforts, with the support of the U.S., to normalize ties with more governments would not diminish the world’s aversion for the Zionist regime and its illegitimate nature, Kanaani said.
“The true winner of the World Cup is the Palestinian nation and its loser is the Zionist regime,” the spokesman added.
In a related Twitter post on Wednesday, Kanaani said the so-called “normalization deals” between the Zionist regime and some Arab governments in recent years have failed to stamp out hatred of people in Arab countries towards the apartheid regime.
He said the World Cup 2022 hosted by Qatar has demonstrated disgust against the Tel Aviv regime.
“The FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar has turned into a show of people’s disgust against the apartheid Zionist regime and the manifestation of the solidarity of nations with the cause of Palestine,” Kanaani said. “The occupying Israeli regime is hated by all nations,” he hastened to add.
