Head of the Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haneyya on Monday said that the US Jerusalem move constitutes an aggression on the Palestinian people and the entire Muslim nation.
In a phone call with the Iranian president Hassan Rouhani Haneyya stressed that the US decision must be countered through achieving unity on the Palestinian Arab and Islamic levels hoping that the Islamic summit to be held in Turkey on Wednesday will yield concrete and strong decisions.
Haneyya also praised Iran’s continued support for the Palestinian people and their just cause.
For his part president Rouhani confirmed his country’s rejection of the US decision affirming that Iran will stand by the Palestinian people with all its capabilities until the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
He added that Iran will spare no effort to make the Turkey summit succeed and help make decisions that back the Islamic right in Palestine and Jerusalem.
