TEHRAN, May 19 - Iranian President Hassan Rouhani offered six practical initiatives for countering Israel’s anti-Muslim policies and stopping the Zionist regime from resorting to barbaric crimes.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Addressing an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul on Friday, President Rouhani lashed out at the Zionist regime of Israel for challenging the global community before the tearful eyes of the world by trampling on human dignity and belittling all values, his official website reported.
The Iranian president finally proposed six initiatives that the Muslim world could use to prevent Israel from continuing its crimes.
The United Nations should be urged to convene an extraordinary meeting of the General Assembly to address the US government’s recent illegal decision and the Zionist regime of Israel’s recent crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, he noted.
Secondly, an “expert group” -comprised of legal, political and economic experts from the member states- should be formed to discuss and come up with plans to counter the US government’s recent illegal move at the national, regional and international levels, the president added.
The third move, Rouhani added, could be adoption of political, economic and trade measures against the US and Israel. “We call on the world’s freedom-seeking nations… to review their political, economic and trade ties with the US government, cut ties with the usurping Zionist regime, and boycott the Zionist goods and companies.”
The president then urged “solutions for collective action to provide humanitarian help for people of Palestine” as well as efforts to denuclearize the Middle East region, saying Israel’s nuclear stockpiles pose a serious threat to the international peace and security.
As regards the sixth and last initiative, President Rouhani said all Islamic countries should mark the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan as the international Quds Day for supporting the people of Palestine.
The OIC meeting in Istanbul came a few days after the Israeli regime killed at least 60 Palestinians in Gaza.
They were among Palestinians taking part in protests against the relocation of the US Israel embassy to the city of al-Quds (Jerusalem).
More than 2,700 Palestinians were also wounded in the Israeli crackdown on the protesters.
