Muslim countries must unite to end Zionist crimes in Gaza

Iran’s interim president, Mohammad Mokhber, has called for unity among Muslim countries to end the ongoing genocidal war waged by the Israeli regime in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Mokhber made the comment during a telephone conversation with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday.

The interim Iranian president praised the enthusiastic support of the Pakistani people for the Palestinians in Gaza as well as the clear position of the Pakistani government on the crimes of the Zionist regime in the blockaded territory.

Mokhber stressed that it is necessary for all Muslim countries to form a united front to prevent the continuation of Zionist crimes in Gaza.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the acting Iranian president called war, violence and terrorism “the legacy of tyrants and arrogant powers of the world for the oppressed nations,” stressing that Muslim countries must join forces to eliminate this disturbing legacy of their lands.

Mokhber also spoke about the agreements signed between Tehran and Islamabad during a visit of the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi to Pakistan.

Noting that the two countries agreed to increase the volume of trade and economic exchanges to $10 billion per year, he expressed hope that this important goal would be achieved through the efforts of the two countries and the removal of trade barriers. .

Mokhber said Iran has always considered Pakistan as a strategic partner, highlighting the determination of senior officials of the two countries to further promote bilateral relations in various political, economic and cultural fields.

The Pakistani Prime Minister, for his part, described relations between the two countries as ancient, historic and based on deep cultural and religious commonalities.

He added that the late Iranian President’s trip to Pakistan opened a new chapter in bilateral relations, stressing that Islamabad is determined to implement the agreements reached during this trip, including increasing the volume of trade between the two 10 billion dollar countries.

Leading a high-ranking political-economic delegation, late Iranian President Raeisi visited Pakistan on April 22 for a key official visit aimed at promoting security and trade relations. His visit to Pakistan was part of a regional tour that also took Raeisi to Sri Lanka.

Ahead of his trip to Islamabad, Raeisi said Iran has deep-rooted civilizational and historical relations with Pakistan, one of the most important countries in South Asia.

On May 19, the helicopter carrying Raeisi and his entourage crashed in a mountainous and forested region in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. Their bodies were found the next day after a massive search operation.
