Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made remarks at the First International Conference on the Geopolitical Crises in the Islamic World in the Iranian capital Tehran on November 14, 2016.
Addresses the First International Conference on the Geopolitical Crises in the Islamic World at Tehran’s Shahid Beheshti University, the top Iranian diplomat also called on Muslim countries to unite rather than diverge in the face of the usurping regime.
“Muslim states should respond to the Zionist regime (Israel)’s violations of the Palestinian people’s rights.”
Zarif also pointed out those Muslim countries should unite in tackling the challenge posed by the Israeli regime rather than engaging in infighting.
The Muslim world, he said however, has failed to unite behind the cause of delivering such a response due to “discourse difficulties,” which have hindered constructive interaction among Muslim countries.
Some “delusional” rulers in Islamic countries, Zarif said, have been attempting to portray Islam’s main problem as such false threats as discord between Shias and Sunnis and Arabs and Persians.
He cautioned all Muslim countries not to engage in “deviation and the giving of false directions,” and thereby prevent “this challenge [of extremism] from turning into a substantive challenge and a threat that is not just limited to the geographical contours of Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and the Muslim world but one that threatens the humanity.”
It is worthy to mention that Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic frequently urged the Muslim nations to form a united front against Israeli aggression.
Imam Khomeini through his messages, speeches and works exposed the crimes being committed by the Israeli regime against innocent Palestinian people.
Imam also raised the issue on international arena and recommended the Islamic Republic’s officials to raise the issue at all international forums.
Imam also urged the Muslim nations to form a united front in order to counter the occupational agenda of Israeli regime.
Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic raised the Palestinian issue on the world stage by declaring the last Friday by the blessed month of Ramadan as international Quds Day.
- All must know that the superpowers aim in creating Israel does not end in the occupation of Palestine. They plan, Heaven forbid, extending the fate of Palestine to all Arab countries.
- Do not the authorities of the nation see or know that diplomatic talks with history's criminal and powerful politicians cannot save Lebanon, Palestine or quds and the number of crimes and oppressions increases daily.
- Jerusalem is the first Kiblah of Muslims and it belongs to them.
- Neither the Iranian Muslim nation, nor any other Muslims and, as a matter of fact, no open-minded individual, will recognize Israel. We shall always support our Arab and Palestinian brothers.
