Tehran : Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has called on Islamic countries to use the tools they have to cut off the economic and political arteries of the Israeli regime to support the Palestinian people in war-hit Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
“Islamic countries have tools at their disposal which they can use to cut off the economic and political arteries of the Zionist regime,” Kanaani said on Monday, adding that those countries should not wait for action by international organizations which he said are under the influence of Western states.
“At these difficult times that the innocent people of Gaza and the West Bank are under constant attacks by the Israeli regime, their first expectation from Islamic nations and governments is that they use their tools to exert pressure on Israel and support Palestine”, the spokesman said during his weekly press briefing in Tehran.
He said that while Israel is receiving an all-out support from the US and Europe, Islamic countries should also use “the tool of energy” to put pressure on the regime.
Iran backs putting pressure on the Israeli regime, and fortunately, good legal and international measures have also been taken, Kanaani said, expressing hope that all those actions and tools can be used well to stop the Israeli war machine against Palestinians. — IRNA
