SAEDNEWS: Araqchi urged the mobilization of all resources to end the Israeli siege of Gaza.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Seyyed Abbas Araqchi has called for the mobilization of all capacities to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip.
He made the remarks during a phone conversation with Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, his Saudi counterpart, on Friday.
Araqchi highlighted the catastrophic situation in Gaza caused by intensified crimes of the Israeli regime – particularly the blockade of food and medicine and the deprivation of the oppressed people of Gaza from basic needs.
He stressed the urgent need to activate all available capacities, including the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (O.I.C.) and other international mechanisms, to end the siege, deliver essential aid, and halt the genocide in occupied Palestine.
Araqchi also condemned the Israeli Knesset’s move to annex the West Bank, calling it another sign of the regime’s expansionist and unlawful nature. He added that this move, along with the genocide in Gaza and severe human rights violations in the West Bank, reflects Israel’s ominous intent to completely eliminate Palestine as a land, nation, and independent identity.
He emphasized that a firm stance by the O.I.C. and most countries worldwide in condemning this move is of great significance.
Additionally, Araqchi briefed his Saudi counterpart on the latest developments in Iran’s negotiations with three European countries, namely Britain, Germany, and France.
During the conversation, the two ministers emphasized the need for immediate and practical measures to assist the people of Gaza and stop the crimes against Palestinians. They also explored ways to use regional and international capacities, including the O.I.C., to pursue this goal.
The Saudi foreign minister affirmed his country’s readiness to help advance this goal.
