Iran calls for OIC meeting on Palestine developments

MEHR: Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has called for holding a special meeting between the foreign ministers of OIC member states to discuss the current situation in Palestine.

Amir-Abdollahian held a phone conversation with the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha on Monday night to discuss the necessity of the efforts of Islamic countries to help the oppressed people of Palestine.

Announcing the readiness of the Islamic Republic of Iran to host the OIC meeting on Palestine, the top Iranian diplomat urged urgent action from all Islamic countries to help the Palestinian people.

Hissein Brahim Taha, for his part, condemned Zionists' attack against Palestinians and stressed the need for Islamic countries to cooperate on adopting a joint response to the aggression of the Israeli regime.

The Israeli regime launched deadly strikes on the densely-populated Gaza Strip on Saturday after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group waged a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the usurping entity.

Hamas said that its operation came in response to the Israeli regime’s violations at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds and growing settler violence.
