Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has stressed that “the fake regime of the ‘Israeli’ entity is the root cause of all problems in the region.”
This came in a telephone conversation with the Head of the Politburo of the Hamas resistance movement, Ismail Haniyeh, on Tuesday night.
Amir Abdollahian congratulated Haniyeh on the 34th anniversary of the establishment of the resistance movement, and reaffirmed Iran’s continued support for the Resistance of the Palestinian people.
He further referred to Hamas as “one of the pioneers of the Islamic Resistance movements in the liberation of Holy al-Quds.”
“Today, the Resistance has a pivotal role in realising the historical rights of the Palestinian people.”
Referring to the recent move of the British government in declaring Hamas a “terrorist organisation,” Amir Abdollahian said that it was a political move against the Palestinian people.
“The fake Zionist regime is the cause of troubles and the root of the problems in the region,” he said.
“Some regional countries, the ones that move in the path of normalising relations with this regime are acting against the security and interests of the region and the Islamic Ummah,” the Iranian foreign minister underscored.
For his part, Haniyeh said, “We proudly remember Martyr General Qasem Soleimani and appreciate the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the Palestinian cause and Resistance since the victory of the Islamic Revolution.”
He then added that the Zionist regime’s influence in the region “has caused insecurity, instability, and a threat to the Palestinian cause and to the entire Islamic Ummah.”
