Araqchi Meets Hamas Delegation to Address Escalating Israeli Violations

Araqchi and Hamas Unite to Address Escalating Israeli Violations

Tehran, IRNA – In a significant meeting, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi engaged with Basem Naim, the former Health Minister of the Gaza Strip, and Osama Hamdan, a prominent member of Hamas’s politburo. The discussion primarily focused on the latest developments in Palestine, particularly the escalating wave of Israeli crimes against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Araqchi expressed his gratitude to Hamas for its participation in the Tehran Dialogue Forum, emphasizing that both the Israeli and American ceasefire plans do not adequately address the essential rights and demands of the Palestinian people. He reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to supporting the resistance of Palestine and its citizens against Israeli aggression, especially through diplomatic channels in global organizations.

During the meeting, Naim highlighted the critical humanitarian crisis in Gaza, strongly condemning the Israeli regime’s use of essential resources like water and food as tools for collective punishment against the Gazan populace. He stated:

“The people of Gaza and resistance groups will remain steadfast against the Israeli regime’s atrocities until a solution is achieved that safeguards the rights and interests of the Palestinian nation.”

Naim pointed out that despite ongoing mediation efforts, Israel continues to prolong the conflict, using ceasefire negotiations as a tactic to compel Palestinians to accept objectives that it has been unable to achieve through military means.

Hamdan also commended Iran’s unwavering support for Palestine and urged Islamic nations and the international community to exert pressure on the Israeli regime to halt what he described as genocide in Gaza. He remarked:

“The international community must rally to end the violence and ensure that the rights of Palestinians are recognized.”

This meeting underscores the ongoing struggle for Palestinian rights and the need for international attention to the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The commitment from various leaders reveals a united front against injustice and a call for a resolution that prioritizes the dignity and rights of the Palestinian people.
