"Given its position among Palestinians, Iran can draw the mediation plan among the Palestinian groups to gather them and narrow the gap between Fatah and Hamas," Rapporteur of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini said.
In the recent meeting between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran, Ahmadinejad offered to host talks among different Palestinian groups in Tehran.
"Fatah and Hamas's trust in Iran will bring Ahmadinejad's proposal into action," Naqavi Hosseini underlined, adding that Iran's all-out support for Palestine paves the way for Tehran's mediation.
Abbas, heading a high-ranking delegation, attended the 16th Non-Aligned Movement summit held in the Iranian capital from August 26 to 31.
His visit to Tehran angered Israeli officials so deeply that the regime's foreign minister Avigdor Liberman asked for his assassination.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman in an interview with Channel 10 of Israeli television used harsh and provocative remarks against Abbas and asked for the assassination of the PA chief or his seizure in Ramallah when he returns from Iran.
Despite the fact that his call for assassinating Abbas is a blatant case of state-sponsored terrorism, the Israeli foreign minister used vulgar language to insult over 120 NAM member states calling them all "terrorists".
"The fact that Abbas attended terrorists' summit in Tehran is a black day in Israel's history," Liberman said.
