Iravani: Solving the Palestinian issue is depends on giving the Palestinian people their right to self-determination

New York– Iran’s Ambassador to the UN Amir Saied Iravani has said that the United States “remains the sole impediment” to Palestine’s full UN membership which he said addresses injustices the Palestinian people have endured over the past decades, IRNA reported.

He said: “The Islamic Republic of Iran supports Palestine’s request for full membership. We believe that the admission of Palestine as a full member of the UN marks a pivotal moment in addressing the historical injustices endured by the Palestinian people. However, we deeply regret yet another irresponsible action by the United States, a permanent member of the Security Council, in using veto to block such a legitimate right of the Palestinians”.

”During the past eight decades, the US has obstructed global efforts aimed at achieving a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian question.

Trying to justify their longstanding obstruction of Palestinian membership in the UN, the authorities of the United States have frequently referred to the so-called “peace negotiations” and “comprehensive peace plan”.

Nevertheless, there is neither a single intention nor any effort by the United States to forcing the apartheid Zionist regime to comply with the global demands or realize even the smallest portion of the Palestinians’ rights”.

He stressed Iran’s firm belief that the comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue is only possible through the full realization of the inalienable right of this nation to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in all of the Palestinian territories, with Al-Quds as its capital.
