Tehran, May 12, IRNA – As the world people are seeing the resistance of the Palestinian people on the one hand and the atrocities of the Zionist regime on the other hand, they are looking at the Palestinian issue from a different viewpoint, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Wednesday.
