ALWAGHT- Iran has outlined its stance on the Doha summit’s joint statement, rejecting both the “two-state” approach to the Palestinian issue and the United States’ self-styled “peace” efforts.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry on Tuesday rejected references to the “two-state solution” in a joint Doha summit statement, reiterating Tehran’s support for Palestinian resistance and ruling out any recognition of Israel. It also dismissed Washington’s claims of pursuing peace, accusing the US of enabling Israeli “barbarity” across West Asia and the occupied Palestinian territories.
Tehran reaffirmed its long-standing position that the only just and lasting solution is the creation of a unified democratic government across the occupied territories, formed through a referendum including all Palestinians inside the land and in the diaspora. The ministry stressed this system would represent “all Palestinians” and rejected alternatives promoted by the US and its allies.
Iran specifically dismissed proposals such as establishing a Palestinian state on 1967 borders or limiting the capital to East al-Quds, arguing these plans disregard lands seized in 1948 and fail to address decades of occupation. It emphasized that the so-called “two-state solution” cannot resolve the Palestinian issue.
The statement also underlined Palestinians’ right to resist “by whatever means necessary” against Israeli occupation, calling it a right enjoyed by all nations under international law. Tehran further condemned US policies for sustaining Israeli aggression, insisting Washington cannot act as an impartial peace broker. Iran asked for its reservations to be included in the summit’s final report, issued after Israel’s deadly strikes on Doha targeting Hamas leaders and other resistance groups.
