The foreign ministers of Iran and Oman weighed plans to mobilize support from Islamic governments for the people of Palestine amid the Israeli regime’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, according to Tasnim.
In a telephone conversation on Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Omani counterpart Sayyid Badr Albusaidi discussed the latest regional developments, including the flare-up of tensions in Palestine.
Amirabdollahian referred to the attacks committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in recent months, saying 260 Palestinians, including 40 children and 11 women have been martyred and the number of detained Palestinians in the West Bank has reached about 5,000, of whom around 200 are women and children.
Thanking Oman for its support for the Palestinian people, the Iranian Foreign Minister said Tehran and Muscat have always backed Palestine and under the current circumstances, the people of Gaza and the West Bank need the support of Muslim countries.
Oman’s Foreign Minister said while hundred of innocent civilians are being killed in Gaza, „we, like other world and regional countries, sympathize with the people of Palestine.”
The Palestinian issue must be put on the agenda of the international community, Busaidi said, adding that the global community must recognize the right of Palestinians to decide their fate and liberate the occupied territories.
