  • Araghchi condemned the Israeli Prime Minister’s controversial remarks regarding establishing a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia.
  • In discussions with OIC leaders, there was a shared commitment to confront the plot to annihilate Palestine through the displacement of its people.

In response, Al-Budaiwi expressed support for ongoing dialogue and interaction between the PGCC and Iran, emphasizing mutual interests and shared concerns. He appreciated Iran’s proposal for an emergency OIC meeting focused on Palestine and reiterated the Council’s strong opposition to any attempts to resettle Palestinians in foreign countries. The PGCC remains committed to advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people.
