Palestine Conference Kicks Off in Tehran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An international conference on Palestinian Intifada (uprising) got underway in Tehran on Tuesday with representatives from more than 50 countries in attendance.
Around 700 foreign officials and intellectuals, including 18 parliament speakers, have taken part in the 6th International Conference on Palestinian Intifada.
The two-day gathering also includes representatives of anti-Israeli Palestinian resistance groups.
The conference is attended by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. Senior Iranian officials, including President Hassan Rouhani and Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani are also among the figures attending the opening of the conference.
In recent years, the concept of resistance has attracted a great deal of attention across the Muslim world.
It refers mainly to the courage and fortitude shown by the people of Palestine, who have withstood Israel’s crimes for years.
