*Demands immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza Strip

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi called on Muslim-majority countries on Saturday to send weapons to Palestinians fighting the Israeli armed forces.

“Muslim countries should arm the Palestinian people. Resistance is the only answer to Israeli violence. Countries around the world, including Muslim ones, should ensure the protection of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories,” he said at a Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh.

Raisi, who is in Riyadh for what is the first Saudi trip of a sitting Iranian president in more than a decade, also called for “an end to trade and cooperation between Muslim countries and the Zionist formation” as well as for a boycott of Israeli-made goods.

Iranians are “kissing the hands” of Palestinian movement Hamas for its resistance to Israel in the Gaza Strip, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Saturday.

“There is no other way but to resist Israel. We are kissing the hands of Hamas for its resistance to the Israeli regime,” Raisi said at a Joint Arab Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Saturday demanded that Israel immediately withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip.

“Israel must immediately cease fighting in the Gaza Strip and withdraw its forces from there,” Raisi told the Islamic-Arab summit held in Riyadh.

The Iranian president also demanded an international trial of Israelis and Americans allegedly involved in the attacks on the Gaza Strip. SPUTNIK
