WANA (Feb 09) – Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, continued his consultations on developments in the occupied Palestinian territories and the joint Israeli-American plan for the forced displacement of Palestinians. In this context, he held a phone conversation with Hissein Brahim Taha, the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

 

Condemning the Israeli-American plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the eradication of Palestine, the Iranian Foreign Minister stressed the urgent need for a unified and coordinated stance by the Islamic Ummah to thwart this sinister scheme.

 

Araghchi reminded Islamic countries of their grave responsibility to defend the fundamental and legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, particularly their right to self-determination and secure life in their homeland. He emphasized that the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza is not only a grave crime tantamount to genocide, but also a threat to regional and global stability. He called on the OIC to swiftly convene an extraordinary meeting of foreign ministers to adopt decisive and effective measures in defense of Palestinian rights.
