Tehran: Iran today rejected any normalization movement with Israel, which it blamed for being the root cause of all the problems in the region, especially the usurpation of the Palestinian territory, Prensa Latina publishes.
The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Saeed Khatibzadeh, issued such criteria in reference to the visit to the United Arab Emirates by Israeli Prime Minister Naftalí Bennet.
The permanent, definitive and priority cause of Muslims in the world consists of the liberation of Jerusalem (Al Quds), he indicated, sacred to Islamists and the future capital of an autonomous Palestinian state.
The atrocious and hostile actions of the Tel Aviv regime against the Arabs, the source of insecurity, tension and regional warmongering for more than 70 years, cannot be forgotten, he added.
Khatibzadeh emphasized that Zionism is the arch enemy of the Islamic and Arab world and that no movement toward rapprochement with that regime will stifle the cause of Palestine.
Bennett’s visit to the United Arab Emirates came a day after Israeli forces shot and killed a young Palestinian in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus. (BSH)
