Amirabdollahian on Monday discussed regional developments, including the Palestinian-Zionist conflict, with his Omani counterpart Sayyid Badr bin Hamad al Busaidi on the phone.
The top Iranian diplomat proposed that foreign ministers of Islamic countries hold an emergency meeting soon over the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories.
He said that the Zionist regime has in recent months stepped up its crackdown against Palestinians, from killing women and children to imprisoning people, and constantly desecrated Al-Aqsa Mosque, prompting the ongoing response from resistance groups.
Iran and Oman have always supported the Palestinian people, Amirabdollahian told his counterpart, adding that the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank need the support of the Islamic countries more than ever.
The top Omani diplomat said on his part that his country expresses sympathy over the martyrdom of hundreds of Palestinians by the Zionist regime.
He also said that the Palestine issue should be regarded as a top global priority, calling on the international community to recognize the Palestinians’ right to decide their fate and liberate their occupied lands.
The two ministers agreed to continue talks over the regional developments and pursue the holding of an emergency meeting of the Islamic countries.
