Iran calls Islamic countries to sever relation with Israel
Regional-Iran, Politics, 11/18/2006

Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki speaking at the the extraordinary session of the executive committee of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) in the Saudi port city of Jeddah today said that all of the 130 peace plans relating to the Palestinian situation and resolutions issued over the past years were doomed to failure.

He said resistance and unity are two important factors in dealing with expansionist policies of Israel in occupied Palestine.

The issue of Palestine is quite the same as that in Lebanon, he said adding that it is time to adopt a just attitude towards the Palestinian issue and take necessary policy to this end.

A just peace in Palestine would be established only when its real settlers can govern it, he said, adding that for this reason Iran believes that a referendum with participation of all real settlers could be a suitable solution to the issue.

By the time, this is achieved, the Islamic and Arab state should sever their relations with the Zionist regime and prevent any economic cooperation with Israeli companies.

Disturbing regional peace and security under atmosphere of terror and violence are among the existence philosophy of Israel, he said adding that Israel without this mission could not survive any more.

He expressed regret over lack of a serious tools to deal with the crimes of the Zionists and said this fabricated regime only understands the language of force.

He called on the global community to help remove the Western-imposed economic sanctions against Palestinians.

Meantime, today, the OIC promised to extend financial assistance to the Palestinian democratically elected government. "There is growing international resentment over Israeli actions and policies. We must stop Israel acting above the law," Secretary General of the 57-nation organization Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu said.
