Alwaght- Iranian President Seyyed Ibrahim Raisi has held a phone conversation with Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, discussing with him ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza.
The president referred to the Israeli war on Gaza and the crimes it commits daily in the besieged Palestinian enclave, according to Fars News Agency.
He pointed to the "indescribable pain" of the Palestinians in Gaza under the heavy Israeli bombardment despite the UN Security Council’s resolution that called for immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
He added: "The Zionist regime does not adhere not only to this resolution, but also to any law, treaty and international covenant, and violating more than 400 international statements and resolutions bear witness to the aggressive, law-breaking and anti-human nature of this regime, which requires the serious cooperation of Islamic countries to support the oppressed people in Gaza."
He maintained that today the Muslim nations expect a "resolute and deterrent action" from the Muslim world leaders to put an end to the Israeli crimes and genocide against the Palestinians.
He said that this is possible through work of the regional and Islamic organizations like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
Raisi also emphasized the necessity of cooperation and unity of Islamic countries in sending humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip to prevent famine, announcing the readiness of Tehran for any initiative in this field.
The two also discussed bilateral ties in trade and other areas.
Raisi voiced his optimism that the two neighbours will enhance their partnership in trade and energy as this best serves their national interests.
