Int'l conference on Palestine enters second day in Iranian capital

The Iranian capital, Tehran, is hosting the second day of an international forum in support of the Palestinian cause, with hundreds of foreign guests, including senior Palestinian leaders and officials of Muslim nations, in attendance.

Hawzah News Agency (Tehran, Iran) -The annual event, dubbed the 6th International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada (Uprising), continued for a second and last day in Tehran on Monday morning with the motto of "Together Supporting Palestine."

 

Around 700 foreign guests from dozens of countries and representatives of pro-Palestinian organizations are taking part in the conference.

 

During the Monday session, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and senior international figures are scheduled to deliver speeches.

 

The conference opened on Tuesday with a brief address by Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, who is the chairman, during which he referred to the Israeli regime’s increased activity to rally several regional states around itself and against Iran.

 

The summit was then officially inaugurated with an address by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

 

Ayatollah Khamenei called the issue of Palestine the top priority of the Muslim world and all freedom seekers and urged unity toward supporting Palestinian resistance.

 

Intifada points to large-scale Palestinian protests against Israel’s 1967-present occupation of their territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem al-Quds.
