Tehran : Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said Tuesday that Iran hailed Egypt’s recent move on opening of its borders with the Gaza Strip to transport humanitarian aid to the enclave.
Following the Zionist regime’s fatal attack on a peace flotilla which was sailing humanitarian aid to Gaza, Cairo decided earlier in June to open the Rafah border crossing with Gaza and end the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian territory.
Speaking to reporters at his weekly press briefing, Mehman-Parast expressed hope that Cairo would pay due attention to the expectations of the international community as well as Egypt’s historic duty for supporting the oppressed people of Gaza.
Commenting on reports that said Iran was to send humanitarian aid for Gazans, Mehman-Parast said necessary arrangements were made by the government of Egypt for carrying the cargo into the Gaza Strip.
