The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Massoud Pezeshkian, stated that the Zionist regime, with the support of the United States, is committing widespread oppression and crimes against the people of Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, including blocking aid to ordinary people, which should not occur from a humanitarian and human rights perspective in any war.

On Wednesday, before departing for Cairo, the capital of Egypt, to participate in the D-8 summit, President Pezeshkian told reporters that discussions would take place at the summit regarding the regional developments  , with the aim of defending the rights of the people of Gaza, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria.

Pezeshkian pointed to the severe restrictions on the delivery of food and medicine to Gaza, adding that efforts would be made at the summit, with the presence of the leaders of participating countries, to reach agreements for coordinated and effective diplomacy.

He emphasized that aid routes to Gaza must not be blocked under any circumstances.

He stressed that Islamic countries must defend the rights of the oppressed people of Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon against the oppression, crimes, and killings by the Zionists with a unified voice and perspective, and they should resolve their differences through dialogue as much as possible.

Pezeshkian also highlighted the importance of the Cairo summit in expanding economic, political, cultural, and social cooperation among D-8 members.

The President of the Islamic Republic of Iran also emphasized that Egypt is a country with a long history and a significant civilization that has a major impact in the Islamic world.
