According to a Tuesday report by the IRNA, Iran’s Deputy Parliament Speaker Mojtaba Zonnouri is leading a delegation to the 147th assembly of the IPU, which is being held in Luanda, Angola, from October 23 to 27.
During the opening ceremony on Monday evening, IPU President Duarte Pacheco gave a speech in which he took a unilateral position in favor of the Zionist regime and called the Palestinian resistance movement a terrorist group.
Reacting to Pacheco’s remarks, the Iranian parliamentary delegation and many other delegations from Islamic countries, left the ceremony in protest.
The parliamentary delegations returned to the ceremony after the speech and showed their strong reactions to the positions adopted against the Palestinian resistance.
Israel waged a brutal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, a surprise attack into the occupied territories in retaliation for the Israeli regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, the Israeli onslaught on Gaza has so far killed more than 5,087 Palestinians, including 2,055 children, and injured 15,273 others.
