During the meeting held on the sidelines of the ministerial emergency meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement’s Palestine Committee, Amir Abdollahian’s proposal was welcomed by the South African deputy foreign minister.

The two sides strongly condemned the recent Israeli attacks on the defenseless Palestinians, and underlined the need for coordination among the NAM member-states to stop the Zionists’ atrocities against the people in the Gaza Strip.

Amir Abdollahian lauded the remarkable measures taken by late South African Leader Nelson Mandela and his campaign against the Apartheid, and hailed the country’s stance in condemning the racist polices of the Apartheid regime of Israel.

The South African deputy foreign minister, for her part, reiterated the need for mutual cooperation, and called for continuation of coordination and consultations to help the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier today, Iranian Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri lashed out at the international community for its deadly silence over the Israeli crimes in Gaza, and said words and statements cannot save the innocent Palestinians from the Zionists’ hands.

“The cruel massacre of the Gaza people is being carried out in a situation that the countries which claim to be advocates of human rights have very easily ignored these crimes and even supported the criminals,” Jahangiri said in the Western city of Kermanshah.

“Unfortunately, the international community has chosen the path of silence and has just sufficed to issuing some statements in support for the oppressed people in Palestine and Gaza,” he added.

Jahangiri said the western states’ silence has emboldened the Israeli regime to even intensify its anti-humane atrocities against the Palestinians.
