Iran calls on Muslim world to help Palestinians decide their fate

IRNA – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani has called on Islamic countries to ensure Palestinians have an opportunity to determine their own fate.

Bagheri made the remarks in a Friday meeting with Ahmad Yildiz, his counterpart from Türkiye who is in Tehran at the head of a delegation of Turkish officials.

The talks covered various topics of mutual interest in bilateral, regional, and international spheres.

Both sides explored new avenues to promote Tehran-Ankara relations in political, security, economic, cultural, media, and scientific fields.

Among the key issues discussed was the ongoing war in Gaza, and how to bring an end to the war crimes and genocide committed by the Israeli regime.

The two officials also stressed the urgency of providing immediate and unconditional aid to Gaza, lifting the 16-year-long blockade of the territory, and stopping the forced displacement of Palestinians.

“Today, the world is facing a confrontation between the forces of good and evil, and the responsibility of Iran and Türkiye in this arena is crucial,” Bagheri said.
