Amirabdollahian made the remarks in a phone conversation with Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement, according to an IRNA report released early on Monday.
Pointing to the speech delivered by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr on April 22, the Iranian foreign minister stressed the importance of continued political and spiritual support for the Palestinian nation and their resistance movement.
During his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei termed the issue of Palestine “one of the most fundamental issues of the Islamic World.”
For his part, Haniyeh said the Palestinian nation and all Palestinian groups are determined to resist the occupying regime’s aggression.
Further, he welcomed the recently-announced agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia, saying that such an agreement would be of benefit to both countries and to the entire region.
On March 10, Iran and Saudi Arabia issued a joint statement in China, announcing they would resume their diplomatic relations after a seven-year cut.
