Int'l secretariat marks day of solidarity with Palestine

Iran-based Secretariat of the International Conference in Support of the Palestinian People's Intifada has issued a statement on the 29 November, the day of solidarity with the Palestinian people, saying the world has failed to resolve any of the Palestinian grievances while Israeli is continuing to build ever more Jewish settlements and the Gaza Strip remains under full siege.

"Israeli prisons are packed with thousands of Palestinians," it said, adding the Zionist regime relies on the US support in its atrocities against the Palestinian nation.

It said the occupation of Palestine has turned into a crisis that has served as a key source of insecurity and instability not only in the Middle East but also beyond it the world over.

The statement called on all the world free men and politicians to mark the day and help press Israel to stop settlement expansion and lift the siege on Gaza, adding the fight against terrorism would not bear fruits unless the occupation of Israel is over.

It also condemned the Israeli daily atrocities against the Palestinian nation and said the international day of solidarity with the Palestinian nation serves as an opportunity for revisiting a historical liability towards the Palestinian issue.
