In a telephone conversation with Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif assured Palestine of the Islamic Republic’s continued support amid a fresh wave of “Israeli” aggression against Palestinians, particularly in Al-Quds.

For his part, Haniyeh briefed Zarif on the latest developments in the occupied territories and the Zionist regime's attacks against Palestinians as well as the Palestinian people's resistance.

He further asked for Iran's support for the Palestinian people's resistance.

Meanwhile, Zarif reaffirmed Iran's solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine, and condemned the usurping and brutish Zionist regime's measures against the fasting people of Palestine as well as its attacks against Al-Aqsa Holy Mosque that have martyred and wounded defenseless worshippers.

The top Iranian diplomat also reiterated Iran's full support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian cause.

He further informed Haniyeh of his consultations with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on supporting the Palestinian people's resistance at the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation [OIC].
