TEHRAN (Tasnim) Irans parliament speaker called on his counterparts around the globe to condemn the Israeli regimes atrocities against the Palestinian people.In a letter to the speakers of the worlds parliaments on Saturday, Ali Larijani condemned the Tel Aviv regimes aggressive moves, including the recent provocative measures in the holy city of al-Quds.
The Iranian speaker lashed out at the Tel Aviv regime for its racist crimes, a plan for the complete occupation and Judization of al-Quds, expansion of settlement construction and the daily acts of terror and intimidation of Palestinians.
Larijani,, who also chairs the Parliamentary Union of Islamic Countries (PUIC), slammed those crimes as "a blatant violation of the international law" that are also in flagrant defiance of the United Nations treaties and the human rights regulations.
His letter came against the backdrop of simmering tensions in al-Quds after Israeli authorities prevented Palestinian worshippers from entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque two weeks ago and are pressing ahead with plans to construct new settler units in East al-Quds.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque, a holy site at the heart of the clashes, was shut down for almost an entire day to all visitors.
Al-Quds has been witnessing months of violence with al-Aqsa mosque compound standing as a rallying point for Palestinian resistance to the Israeli attempts to take control of the holy site.
