RNA - "Palestine should turn into a priority for the Muslim world and their legitimate rights should be supported," Kilic said addressing a meeting of the Permanent Committee on Palestine of PUIC in Tehran on Monday.
He underlined the need for the Islamic states to understand the dire situation of the Palestinians and confront the US decision to relocate its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Meantime, Rizwan al-Akhras, the Palestinian representative in the conference, warned that 65 percent of the West Bank has been occupied by Israel.
"In addition to building settlements, the Zionists have oppressed the Gaza people."
"We warn of the US-Zionist plot against the Gaza people and the world. They want to surround the Palestinian people so that they don’t survive and no one could help them," he added.
The extraordinary meeting of the PUIC Committee on Palestine in Tehran had also in a December meeting blasted the US decision to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's capital, stressing that the city was an indispensable part of the Palestinian territories.
"The US president's decision on Quds city is firmly denied and considered as non-negotiable and a blatant aggression against the Palestinian nation's undeniable rights," the PUIC Committee said in a final statement.
Stressing that Quds city is the indispensable part of the Palestinian territories, it warned that the US decision would further deepen the regional tensions and push the region into escalation of violence and chaos.
According to Fars News Agancy, the statement also underscored the importance of Palestine and Quds for the Islamic Ummah and the necessity for supporting the Palestinian nation's Intifada through all possible ways, adding that resistance in all dimensions is the legitimate and legal right of the Palestinian nation to restore their rights, specially the refugees' right of return to their country and the formation of an independent Palestinian government with Quds as its capital.
The Islamic states also stressed the need for action on all resolutions banning interaction with Israel and discarding any attempt to normalize ties with the Zionist regime.
