TEHRAN -- Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian said Friday Palestinian fighters and all the resistance groups in the region are ready to resist the Israeli enemy and counter any move against the defenseless people of Palestine.
In phone conversation with Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faisal Mekdad, the top Iranian diplomat said the Islamic Republic has made great diplomatic efforts and held consultations with influential countries in the region with the purpose of putting an immediate end to the war crimes and genocide committed by the child-killing Israeli regime and dispatching humanitarian aid to the oppressed Palestinian people.
Amir-Abdollahian emphasized that the occupying regime of Israel and the United States are responsible for the continuation of the Tel Aviv regime’s crimes in the killing of civilians, particularly women and children, and destroying key infrastructures in Gaza.
Mekdad, for his part, reaffirmed Syria’s principled and unchangeable stance on firm support for Palestine and the resistance front despite its own problems.
The Syrian foreign minister urged the Muslim world to reinforce its unity to confront the apartheid Zionist regime and called on nations in the region to remain vigilant in the face of plots hatched by the U.S. and Israel.
Amir-Abdollahian also held a phone conversation with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
They underscored the need to swiftly end the Zionist regime’s war crimes against the Palestinians in Gaza and dispatch constant humanitarian aid to the besieged territory.
Amir-Abdollahian and Al Thani also discussed certain proposals on establishing a temporary ceasefire and prevent the spread of war.
