Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reaffirmed the nation’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian people against the occupying Zionist regime. This enduring support is a fundamental principle of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

During a phone call with Ziyad al-Nakhalah, the Leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), Araghchi highlighted the significance of the recent Gaza ceasefire agreement. He stated that this agreement is a direct result of the resilience displayed by the Palestinian people in the face of Israeli aggression over the past 15 months, compelling the regime to accept the terms of the ceasefire.

Key points from the discussion include:

  • Support for Palestine: Iran’s commitment to the Palestinian cause remains consistent and strong.
  • Ceasefire Agreement: The Gaza ceasefire marks an end to over 15 months of intense Israeli attacks.
  • Resistance Acknowledged: Al-Nakhalah emphasized that the steadfastness of the Palestinian people was pivotal in achieving the ceasefire.
  • Gratitude for Support: The PIJ leader expressed appreciation for Iran’s assistance, stating, “we cannot forget our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran, who stood by our nation with all they had at their disposal.”

The recent ceasefire agreement was officially announced on Wednesday, concluding a brutal conflict that resulted in nearly 46,800 fatalities and over 110,450 injuries. The ceasefire is set to take effect on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. local time, providing a glimmer of hope for peace in the region.
