By IRNA,
Paris : IRI Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here Wednesday usurper regime of Israel has been suffering from lack of legitimacy throughout the past 60 years.
Mottaki added at a press conference in Paris, “Palestine belongs to the entire Palestinians, including the Muslims, the Jews and the Christians.”
He said, “The defeat of the Zionist regime in the scene of legitimacy is more significant, deeper, and more catastrophic than that regime’s military defeat in the course of the 33 Day War against Lebanon.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Minister of Foreign Affairs elsewhere in the press conference reiterated, “The greatest philosophy based on which the founders of the Zionist regime have tried to build upon and propagate over is a sentence uttered by an author during the era of US former president John F. Kennedy. He says ‘A land without anation and a nation without a land.’ That is the philosophy based on which this regime was established in Palestine.” Mottaki said, “Both sides of that equation are wrong, since neither that land was without a nation, nor those who were forced to immigrate to Palestine were without lands, since they were citizens of European countries.”
He emphasized, “The aftershocks of the 33 Day War are still shaking the foundations of the Zionist regime since that war proved the falsehood of the claim that that regime is invulnerable. The significance of the matter is that Israel was not defeated in a war with a classical army, but in confrontation with a resistance movement.”
The Iranian Foreign Minister added, “Iran believes it is necessary for the international community to confront that regime, because Israel has always been breaching the entire international rules and regulations quite openly.”
Elsewhere in the conference Mottaki expressed the Islamic Republic of Iran’s satisfaction over the reached agreements in Doha, asking for their full implementation by entire Lebanese groups in order to secure the establishment of peace and security in Lebanon.
He added, “The problem in Lebanon was that some people were trying force the implementation of their personal viewpoints, rather than that of the Lebanese nation, while the developments during the past 20 months in Lebanon proved that such a mentality is doomed to defeat there.”
The IRI Foreign Minister who is in France to participate at a conference to support Afghanistan took part at a press conference at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Wednesday morning and talked to the French and international media reporters on significant regional and international issues.
