He added, "At a time when we congratulate and praised the Iranian operation deep into the occupied Palestinian territories, which came in response to the targeting of its consulate in Damascus by the Zionist entity, we affirm that the Arab and Islamic peoples have the right to defend themselves and their interests in the face of the attacks of the occupation forces, and we call on them to continue their support and attribution for the resistance and the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.”
