The focus was particularly on the alarming rise of Israeli offenses against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.

Araqchi expressed his gratitude to Hamas for their participation in the Tehran Dialogue Forum. He voiced strong criticism of the Israeli and American ceasefire proposals, stating that these plans do not adequately address the fundamental rights and demands of the Palestinian people.

  • Steadfastness of the Palestinian People: Naim affirmed that the residents of Gaza, alongside resistance groups, would persist in their fight against the Israeli regime until a just resolution is reached that protects Palestinian rights and interests.
  • Ceasefire Negotiations: Despite ongoing mediation efforts, Naim criticized Israel for using ceasefire discussions as a delaying tactic, aiming to compel Palestinians to accept objectives that have not been met through military means.
  • Call for International Action: Hamdan commended Iran’s backing for Palestine and urged Islamic nations and the global community to exert pressure on Israel to halt the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

This meeting highlights the urgent need for international attention and action regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza, as well as the persistent violations of Palestinian rights by the Israeli regime.
