Leveraging the international platform provided by this meeting, Bagheri invoked the International Court of Justice’s recent decision concerning the Rafah region, which centers on three main pillars: halting aggression, facilitating unhindered humanitarian aid, and establishing an international fact-finding committee.
In light of the recent political resolution passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors, Bagheri stressed that genuine peace, stability, and security in the Middle East will remain elusive without addressing two key factors: the Zionist regime’s nuclear disarmament and the complete cessation of occupation.
Aligning with the Muslim community’s call for tangible action from Muslim governments against the Zionist regime, Iran put forth nine proposals at the meeting. Two proposals focused on securing D-8 support for the reconstruction of Palestine and the Gaza Strip, as well as establishing an Islamic fund for financial aid in this endeavor.
Designating the Zionist regime’s army and security institutions as terrorist organizations for their perpetration of genocide, war crimes, and blatant human rights violations constituted another proposal. Additional propositions included forming a D-8 contact group to collaborate with the OIC’s contact group, halting the Zionist regime’s crimes, and fostering comprehensive Palestinian dialogues to achieve consensus, national unity, and an agreement on governing Palestinian territories post-war and elections.
Further proposals advocated for the suspension of the Zionist regime’s membership international institutions and participation in events, such as the Paris Olympics, and the cessation of political, economic, and trade ties with the regime.
Establishing a D-8 legal committee to bolster Palestine’s international legal campaigns, notably in the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, and supporting the recognition of the Israeli regime as an apartheid entity and launching joint efforts to revitalize UN General Assembly Resolution 3379 were also among Iran’s proposals for substantive Palestinian support.
Muslim, pro-freedom, and justice-seeking demonstrators worldwide have united in protests against the Zionist regime, reflecting the recognition of Palestine as an independent state by numerous countries and the UN General Assembly resolution endorsing Palestine’s official, full membership in the United Nations.
Student-led movements in the West and beyond, the International Criminal Court’s indictments against the Israeli regime’s leadership and other related developments point toward a decisive Palestinian triumph in the Gaza battle.
Iran’s practical proposals at the D-8 meeting serve to fortify this victory and bolster Palestine’s standing on the international arena. Presenting these proactive measures underscores Iran’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause and pragmatic support for the Islamic Resistance, which remains a central priority of the nation’s foreign policy and, as Iran’s Leader affirmed, is being implemented unhindered.
Iran’s dynamic diplomacy thrives across multiple dimensions, as evidenced by its active engagement in regional and international forums and steadfast advocacy for the Palestinian people and the Resistance Front. The foreign policy tenets of the Iranian government and the late president and foreign minister’s approach remain guiding principles diligently pursued without faltering or stagnation.
