Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and his Tunisian counterpart Mohamed Ali Nafti discussed regional developments, especially the issue of occupied Palestine, and bilateral relations during a telephone conversation on Saturday evening.

Araghchi hailed the continued support and solidarity of the government and people of Tunisia with the oppressed people of Palestine, especially during the 16-month genocide of the occupying Zionist regime. He further described the scheme to forcibly displace the people of Palestine from Gaza as being in line with the colonial plot of the 'erasure of Palestine', and condemned it.

Araghchi called on all countries of the world to take a decisive and united stance against this dangerous conspiracy.

He referred to the decisive opposition of countries at the regional and international levels to the illegal decision of the US president regarding Gaza and underlined the necessity of adopting a coherent and decisive position by Muslim nations to confront this conspiracy against the fate of the Palestinian people.
The top Iranian diplomat proposed that an emergency meeting be held by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation at the earliest opportunity to discuss and make decisions regarding this issue.

The Tunisian foreign minister also pointed to the international community's responsibility to ensure the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the cessation of the killing of the Palestinian people. Nafti underscored that Gaza and the West Bank are an integral part of Palestine and any attempt to remove the people of Gaza from their land is not acceptable in any way.

The top Tunisian diplomat further spoke about the raison d'être of the OIC, which is supporting Quds and Palestine, and welcomed Araghchi’s proposal that this organization hold a meeting on the matter.
