TEHRAN, Dec. 07 (MNA) – Iran’s Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Es’hagh Al-e Habib in opposition to the US-proposed resolution against Palestine said that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is the main cause of conflicts and crisis in the Middle East region.

He made the remark late on Thu. in opposition to a US-proposed resolution against Palestinian Resistance Movement (Hamas) and said, “the draft resolution shows the real nature of US foreign policy towards Palestinians, a policy which is basically based on deception and complete ignorance of inalienable Palestinian rights as well as unconditional and perpetual support for Israel.”

He went on to say that the draft resolution is based on deception, because, the root cause of conflict, i.e. illegal occupation of Palestine by Israel, has totally been ignored for decades, reiterating that Zionists' occupation of Palestine is the main cause of all conflicts in the Middle East region.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Al-e Habib pointed to the killing of more than 160 Palestinians and injuring thousands more people in March by Israeli regime and said, “Israel’s illegal settlements in Palestinian land and territory is another fact that the draft resolution has completely been ignored.”

The illegal settlement of Zionist regime in the occupied lands indicates that Israeli regime has never had an intention and interest to make peace with Palestinians, he emphasized.

Islamic Republic of Iran will vote against the draft resolution, he said and called on other member states to oppose it.

Consequently, US-proposed resolution against Palestinian Resistance Movement (Hamas) failed to obtain necessary vote and only enumerated the US isolation in the international arena.
