TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif urged the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to stop repeating unfounded claims against Iran which serve Israeli interests, and called on the body to rather focus on supporting the cause of liberating Palestine’s Jerusalem al-Quds.
Zarif told reporters, on the sidelines of the International Quds Day rallies in Tehran this morning, that it is better for the OIC to support Quds instead of repeating nonsense claims like those of the last night against Iran.
“The message of the International Quds Day is that Quds is not for sale, neither is it a property of the US to bestow it to Israel,” the Iranian diplomatic chief underlined, and added, “Also the Zionist regime is not entitled to have any claim about Quds.”
“Quds belongs to Muslims and the people of Palestine. Nobody is allowed to give up the first Qibla of the Muslims to Israel and Zionists or do anything else [about it] because it will mar the cause of Palestine,” he stressed.
“It is a petty that a handful of Arab kings, to save themselves and reach their goals, are of the illusion that they will meet their dream if they side with [Israeli Prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu,” he said regretting the secret alignment of some Arab monarchs with Israel.
