Tehran (ISNA) - Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi called the holding of an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and reaching a fully operational and executive decision about Gaza the expectation of all the people of the world, especially the Islamic Ummah.

Before leaving for Saudi Arabia on Saturday morning, President Ebrahim Raisi stated that the main purpose of this trip was to participate in the emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on the Palestinian issue, and referring to the efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran to hold this meeting immediately since the beginning of the Zionist regime's invasion of Gaza and said, "The issue of Palestine is the main issue of the Islamic Ummah and the Muslims of the world, but it is also the issue of humanity and all the people of understanding and thinking all over the world who have taken to the streets in millions these days and they shout about the oppression of the Zionist regime and the support of the Americans for this genocide".

President Raisi stated that the crimes committed by the Zionist regime in Gaza today are a clear example of war crimes and crimes against humanity, adding, "The Americans claim in their statements and messages that they are not looking to expand the domain of the war, while this claim is not compatible with their actions at all, because the fuel of the Zionist war machine is provided by the Americans".

The President listed the obstruction of the meeting in Egypt and the obstruction of the meeting of the UN Security Council to establish a ceasefire in Gaza as examples of lying by the Americans in recent events and added, "Today the world should see the main face of the Americans, to see how, as stated by the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, they are the main supporter of crimes against the oppressed nations with good appearance and velvet hands".

He called the holding of an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and reaching a fully operational and executive decision about Gaza the expectation of all the people of the world, especially the Islamic Ummah, and added, "This platform is not one for mere speech and announcement of positions, but must be a platform for action to quickly stop the bombings, lift the blockade of Gaza, and open the way to help the oppressed and authoritative people of this region, as well as to achieve the rights of the Palestinians, which was basically the main philosophy of the establishment of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation".

The President also referred to the special attention and prominence of the Palestine issue at the summit of the ECO and the side meetings of this summit in Tashkent, and by stating that the meeting of the Islamic Cooperation Organisations is one of the manifestations of unity among Islamic countries, he expressed hope that convergence, cooperation and cohesion of Islamic countries will be achieved in this meeting, which can lead to solving this problem.
