Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Fouad Hussein, received on Sunday a phone call from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Amir Hussein Abdullahian.
The two sides discussed the new situation in the Palestinian arena, where Minister Fouad Hussein affirmed the firm position of Iraq, as a people and government, towards the Palestinian issue, and its standing by the Palestinian people in achieving their aspirations and obtaining their full legitimate rights, indicating that injustice and usurpation of these rights cannot produce sustainable peace.
He pointed out that the operations carried out by the Palestinian people are a natural result of the systematic oppression they have been subjected to since ancient times at the hands of the Zionist occupation authority, which has never adhered to international and UN resolutions, calling on the international community to take action to put an end to the serious violations and restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, who is still suffering from occupation, policies of racial discrimination, siege, transgression of sacred things, and violation of humanitarian values and principles.
The two Ministers stressed the need to hold an urgent meeting of the Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Countries to discuss the war and prevent it.
The two sides also touched on some issues related to bilateral relations and the security agreement between the two countries.
