Iran to Host Int’l Conference on Palestinian Resistance in January 2020


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Permanent Secretariat of the World Assembly of Islamic Awakening announced on Wednesday that an international conference on the Palestinian Resistance will be held in late January 2020.

According to the secretariat, the International Conference of the Palestinian Resistance will be held from January 29 to 31 in order to promote “the discourse of resistance”.

Therefore, researchers, scholars and interested people are invited to submit their articles on various topics.

The main topics of the articles include the theoretical, epistemological and intellectual foundations of the Palestinian resistance, the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Awakening and the Palestinian cause.

Last week, Iran’s deputy ambassador to the United Nations decried the UN Security Council’s failure to carry out at least 365 resolutions adopted on the issue of Palestine under pressure from the Zionist regime of Israel.

In an address to a UN Security Council meeting on the Middle East on October 28, Eshaq Al-e Habib, associating himself with the Non‑Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), said none of the 365 Security Council resolutions adopted on the Palestinian issue has been implemented.

“Rather, the Israeli regime has continued, with total impunity, to pursue its illegal policies and brutal practices,” he deplored.

The Iranian envoy also lashed out at Israel for the systematic commission of all four core international crimes, saying the Zionist regime has waged over 15 wars, invaded all of its neighbors, and conducts aggressions against countries across the region.

Meanwhile, Israel is developing weapons of mass destruction, refuses to join any related treaties and has brazenly threatened a country of the region with nuclear annihilation, Al-e Habib added.

Moreover, the Israeli forces continue to brutally kill innocent Palestinians, having wounded more than 31,000 during the Great March of Return, the UN website quoted him as saying.
