TEHRAN, Oct 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, and his Algerian counterpart, Ahmed Attaf, held a telephone conversation, during which they underscored the critical importance of ending the brutal attacks carried out by the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip.
In a phone call on Thursday night, the two foreign ministers also exchanged views on bilateral relations and other recent regional developments, according to a statement published on the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s website, yesterday.
Amir-Abdollahian said that, under the present circumstances, the urgent priorities are to stop the Israeli attacks against civilians in Gaza, and send humanitarian aid to the besieged enclave, calling for increasing diplomatic consultations among Muslim countries in these regards.
He underlined Iran’s position of constantly supporting Palestine, expressing the readiness to send medicine and food to Gaza through Egypt.
Attaf, for his part, described the present circumstances as a result of “the failure to uphold Palestinians’ legitimate and national rights, to establish an independent state.”
He also called for stopping the violence against innocent Palestinians, and sending aid to the Gaza Strip as soon as possible.
The ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, as it entered the 14th day, has killed more than 4,100 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.– NNN-IRNA
