Speaking in a meeting with Mohammad Nasr, a political bureau member of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, and his accompanying delegation on Tuesday, the top Iranian parliamentarian said that the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue its support for the Palestinian resistance movements, saying that the Palestinian nation will emerge triumphant from the fight against Israel despite attempts by supporters of the regime in the region and all over the world.
The Palestinian official, for his part, appreciated the support Iran has provided for the Palestinian nation in the fight against the Tel Aviv regime.
Iran has always helped the Palestinian people and has had an instrumental role in the fight against Israel, Nasr said, adding that Palestinians couldn’t win the fight against Tel Aviv without Iran’s assistance.
Late in November, Iran’s Permanent Ambassador to the UN's Vienna Offices Reza Najafi blasted the world body for inaction against Israel's aggressions against the Palestinians in last 65 years.
“It is more than 65 years that the Palestine conflict has been lingering not only as an Islamic-Arabic issue, but turning throughout that long period into a complicated political and legal international dispute,” Najafi said on the anniversary of the International Solidarity Day with the Palestinian Nation at the time.
He said that throughout all those long years the Palestinian people’s share had been nothing, but oppression, homelessness, getting killed, occupation of their homes, and due to the colonialist policies pursued by the Zionist regime, losing more and more of their rights in their motherlands that has got smaller and smaller every day.
“Only a few months have passed since the creation of another horrendous human catastrophe in Gaza by the blood thirsty war machine of the Zionist regime in which the defenseless Gaza residents, especially women, children and elderly Palestinians were massacred by that regime,” he reiterated.
Najafi once again repeated Iran’s proposal for resolving the Palestinian crisis, based on democratic ways aimed at harbingering a just and sustainable peace, ending the occupation in the entire Palestinian lands, and the homelessness of all Palestinian refugees.
He said that every citizen of Palestine, regardless of their religions, races, and ethnicities, should have the right to vote for their solid, independent Palestinian motherland whose capital city will be the Holy Quds (Jerusalem).
The internationally recognized Palestinian territories of which the West Bank and East Jerusalem form a part have been occupied by the Israeli military since 1967.
The UN General Assembly on December 2, 1997 issued a resolution naming November 29 as the International Solidarity Day with the Palestinian Nation.
The day is commemorated every year in UN New York Headquarters and the other UN offices around the globe, including Vienna.
