Two-state solution is the only thing that Iran and Israel oppose, says Iranian FM
Doha (Qatar): The two-state solution is the only thing that Iran and Israel do not believe in, Iran's foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Monday via translation at an international forum in Doha.
According to the report, Amirabdollahian, during the forum, restated Iran's suggestion to hold a referendum deciding the fate of Palestine, allowing people who lived there before 1948 to cast ballots, reported The Cradle.
Most countries publicly support the creation of a separate Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Critics of Israeli policy say its actions are intended to make this impossible.
The Iranian foreign minister stated during his visit to Beirut in late November that the recent conflict has demonstrated that time “is not in favour of the artificial Zionist entity and the [US]," The Cradle reported.
According to the report, the foreign minister, in his multinational diplomacy trips in an effort to end Israel's ethnic cleansing campaign, pressed Russia, to which Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the Iranian diplomat that “resistance will determine the final outcome."
In late October, at an emergency session of the UN General Assembly, Amir-Abdollahian condemned the US, saying, “I say frankly to the Americans, who are now managing the war in Gaza, that we do not want the expansion of war into the region," the report stated.
"But if the genocide in Gaza continues, the [US] will not be spared from the fire. This is our home, and West Asia is our region. We do not compromise with any party or any side, and we have no reservation when it comes to our home security.”
