RNA - "The Muslim and Arab world should fully back the Palestinians in their ongoing struggles against the Zionist regime," Amir Abdollahian told reporters after his meeting with Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil in Beirut on Tuesday.

He reiterated that since Iran deems the Palestinian cause as important, the country will host an international conference in support of Palestinian Intifada in the near future.

"The conference aims to urge all sides to put aside their national, ethnic and tribal disputes and give priority to the issue of Palestine in their confrontation against the Zionist regime," Amir Abdollahian said.

The senior advisor underlined that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under no circumstances should find the chance to fish in the troubled waters and take advantage of the regional and international developments to target the Palestinian nation and commit crimes against the Palestinian nation.

In relevant remarks in late September, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani underlined that Tehran will continue to support the people of Palestine and their legitimate cause for freedom and self-determination as its unchanged principle.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has always put support for the Palestinian people and that country's cause at the top of its foreign policy principles on the basis of religious beliefs and national human values," President Rouhani said, addressing the summit meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in Margarita Island of Venezuela.

The Iranian president underlined that fighting extremism and terrorism requires constructive and honest cooperation among all the members of the international community.
