Iran condemns Jenin carnage, reiterates sustained support for Palestinian nation

Iran will continue its support to the Palestinian nation in face of Israeli aggression, Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian has said, as Palestine is struggling against the escalating acts of violence committed by Israeli settlers and army under the new extremist far-right cabinet.

In separate phone calls with the heads of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group Ismail Haniyeh and Secretary General of the Islamic Jihad Ziyad al-Nakhalah, Amir-Abdollahian strongly condemned the Israeli killings of innocent Palestinian people, the Iranian Foreign Ministry Website reported early on Monday.

He emphasized that Iran will stand by its Palestinian brethren. His statement comes following the recent round of crimes committed by the Israeli regime in the Jenin camp, where 10 Palestinians including a woman were martyred.

The Iranian foreign minister also paid tribute to the souls of the Palestinian martyrs and expressed sympathy with their families and the Palestinian nation. He reassured that Palestine has the continued support of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

For his part, Haniyeh thanked Iran for its principled positions in supporting the Palestinian nation on all levels.

Nakhalah also said, “We are proud of the positions announced by the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has been always standing with us against the Zionist regime and its actions against Palestine and its Holy places.”
