Iran’s Zarif: We Will Never Compromise on the Palestinian Cause
Local Editor
"The Islamic Republic of Iran sees the problems of Palestine as its own, like all other friends and neighboring Muslims, and their security and freedom as its own security and freedom," Zarif said in his article published on Monday.
The Iranian diplomat's comments came after at least 17 Palestinians were martyred and more than 1,400 others sustained injuries on Friday when Zionist occupation forces opened fire on thousands of protesters who had flocked to a sit-in amid the Great Return March coinciding with the 42nd anniversary of Land Day near the Gaza border.
Elsewhere in his piece, Zarif warned that some countries were trying to take advantage of the Arab world "for settling their own scores and their greedy deeds" and reiterated that Iran; however, believed that its security and stability hinged on the "security and stability of the region, especially all its neighbors. This should be a priority for everyone."
"In this context, the Islamic Republic of Iran has expressed its desire to actualize a joint security agreement based on mechanisms that spur dialogue, common principles and trust," Zarif said.
He further noted that Iran has expressed its readiness to "cooperate with all sides to ensure good neighborly relations and security and to protect common interests."
Zarif said foreign powers have chosen the option of "continuous and fierce wars in the region."
"We do not want to witness long bloody battles again. If we do not want to see the repetition of such a scene in our history, we should sit down and discuss our differences at the table, not on the battlefields!" Zarif noted.
