Qalibaf made the comment on Sunday in a meeting with Saqr Ghobash, President of the UAE’s Federal National Council, which took place on the sidelines of the 149th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) underway in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Iranian speaker said that the Lebanese people, including Muslims, Christians and Jews need support more than any time as the Israeli regime does not allow flights to carry aid to the Arab country.
This is a very brutal and inhumane behavior, he said, adding that therefore all regional countries have an obligation to confront such measures by the regime.
The UAE official said on his part that the regional countries should resolve the ongoing crisis wisely and prudently in order to prevent an all-out war in the region.
Following his meeting with Saqr Ghobash, the Iranian speaker also held talks with IPU President Tulia Ackson.
Their talks covered developments in West Asia, including the Israeli wars against the people of Gaza and Lebanon.
Qalibaf also held discussions with his Algerian counterpart Ibrahim Boughali on the sidelines of the IPU assembly.
Qalibaf also met with Sahiba Gafarova, the speaker of the parliament of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on Monday morning.
Furthermore, Speakers of Iranian and Turkish parliaments met and held talks on the sidelines of the IPU meeting.
During their meeting in Geneva on Monday, Qalibaf and Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus discussed bilateral ties and regional developments.
Qalibaf also met Speaker of Zimbabwe's National Assembly Jacob Mudenda on the sidelines of IPU meeting in Geneva on Tuesday.
"Parliamentary cooperation between the two countries can be the basis for the development of relations between the governments, therefore, more steps should be taken in this direction," Qalibaf said during meeting with his Zimbabwean counterpart.
