Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi said on Thursday that the US administration must bear responsibility for killing women and children and destroying residential homes in occupied Palestine.
Speaking at Shiraz University during the opening ceremony of the academic year, Raisi announced that countries supporting the crimes of the Zionist entity, contrary to international standards and regulations, must be held accountable.
Raisi congratulated the victories of the resistance front, especially the Palestinian fighters, in the face of the Zionists' ruthless attack.
He accused Israel of dropping bombs on the defenseless people in Gaza because it couldn't defeat the Palestinian fighters, adding that it was a sign of the defeat of the Zionists.
During a phone call Wednesday, Raisi discussed with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad the recent developments in the Palestinian territories, according to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
The two presidents affirmed their position in support of the Palestinian people against Israeli crimes and their legitimate resistance to defend their just cause and restore their rights.
Assad stressed that Zionist policies are causing the bloodshed, emphasizing the necessity of rapid action at the Arab and Islamic levels to protect the Palestinians, particularly in the Gaza Strip, and stop the Israeli raids targeting children and women.
The Iranian President stressed that all Islamic and Arab countries, and all the free people of the world, must unite to stop the crimes of the Zionist entity against the oppressed Palestinian people, according to IRNA News Agency.
Raisi announced that Iran is trying to achieve Islamic and Arab cooperation through contact with the presidents and leaders of Islamic countries.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Foreign Minister, Faisal al-Mikdad, called on the Arabs to support the Palestinian people in various forms and means.
In a Syrian statement during the emergency meeting of the Arab League at the ministerial level in Cairo, Mikdad warned of a large-scale humanitarian catastrophe that may occur in the Gaza Strip, the region, and the world.
He accused the West of supporting "Zionist terrorist gangs and Israeli extremists," saying "Israel-backed terrorists" attacked the Military College in Homs last week, killing hundreds.
Furthermore, Iran's Foreign Minister Hussein Amirabdollahian said the Zionist occupation is the main reason for the crisis in the West Asian region.
Before leaving for Baghdad at the beginning of his Middle East tour, which will include Damascus and Beirut, Amirabdollahian said the world has witnessed in recent days the scenes that show the Israeli regime's attempt to massacre the defenseless people of Gaza and civilians.
"This entity has killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, and according to the available international statistics, 33,000 children have been martyred by the Zionists."
He warned that the Zionists want to massacre the people of Gaza, noting that the war is against all Palestinians, not just the people of Gaza.
"The continuation of war crimes by (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and Zionists against the civilians in Gaza, besieging, cutting off water and electricity, and denying entry of medicine and food, has created conditions where the Zionists are seeking a genocide of all people in Gaza," he said.
