TEHRAN, Aug. 02 (MNA) � Iranian diplomat, Amir-Abdollahian, reacted to the latest news of Palestine�s Mahmoud Abbas meeting with the head of currently-defunct terrorist group of Maryam Rajavi.

�The Palestinians surely regret Mahmoud Abbas�s act of supporting terrorist instead of fighting with it,� stated, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the Iranian former Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs and incumbent Parliament Speaker's General Directoe�for International Affairs, on Tuesday.

The senior diplomat voiced his protest after Palestinian news sources released photos of Mahmoud Abbas meeting with anti-Iran terrorist, Maryam Rajavi, the so-called president-elect of the self-named National Council of Resistance of Iran which is known by its former name in Iran as Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).

�Mahmoud Abbas�s problem is that he is not focused on restoring the rights of Palestinians,� the Iranian official has been quoted by the official website of Iran�s Parliament.

Amir-Abdollahian lamented Abbas�s�topsy-turvy moves in one day supporting Saudi invasion to Yemen and another day backing terrorista like Rajavi.

�Supporting terrorists instead of fighting them, not only does not lead to the liberation of Quds and weakening the Zionist regime, but also makes the Palestinian nation regret,� said the former deputy foreign�minister.
