Parliament Speaker Calls U.S. Support for Israel the Catalyst of Regional Unrest

In a recent statement, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf has criticized the United States for its role in fueling instability in West Asia, particularly through its support for what he describes as the “Zionist mafia.” During his address at the 19th Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States (PUIC) conference held in Jakarta, he characterized Israel as a proxy force for Washington in the region.

Qalibaf highlighted that the world is currently facing an unprecedented convergence of crises, which include:

  • Increased tariffs
  • Climate change
  • Economic instability
  • Rising insecurity

According to Qalibaf, “The assumption of a rules-based international order is now seriously questioned,” emphasizing that “Trust in global institutions is at its lowest recorded level.”

In his comments regarding the situation in Palestine, he stated that the ongoing Gaza conflict has exacerbated a “historic wound” within the Islamic community. He asserted, “This is not merely a war; it is a full-fledged genocide,” adding that “Everyone knows this criminal mafia could not act with such brutality without the green light from the United States.”

Qalibaf called for collective action from Islamic nations to:

  • End the blockade on Gaza
  • Isolate Israel politically, economically, and militarily

He firmly believes that “a democratic solution lies in recognizing the Palestinians’ right to self-determination,” advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with holy Quds as its capital, which should be decided through a nationwide referendum following the return of the refugees.
