In a Sunday statement, Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said in light of the US’ unlimited support for the Israeli regime and the shameful silence of some Muslim governments, there is no end in sight to the Zionists’ crimes in the occupied territories of Palestine.
Praising the legitimate struggles and the forbearing resistance of the oppressed people of Palestine against the occupying regime, Mousavi highlighted the legitimate right of the Palestinians to defend themselves against the crimes of the Zionist regime.
He also called for urgent action by regional and international organisations and associations to prevent the continuation of the regime’s aggression against the innocent and defenceless people of Palestine.
