Peace in West Asia impossible without addressing Palestinian issue
THE WEEK India|February 11, 2024
Iran is once again in the eye of a geopolitical storm after having decided to articulate a clear anti-US, anti-Israel position in the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict.

Peace in West Asia impossible without addressing Palestinian issue

In an exclusive interview with THE WEEK, Iraj Elahi, Iran’s ambassador to India, says Israel has consistently shown disregard for international law and a reluctance to accept solutions. He says Iran and India have the potential to enhance stability in West Asia through their collaborative efforts. Excerpts:

Conflicts have broken out all across West Asia and the possibility of a serious escalation is real. How does Iran see it?

The atrocities committed by the Zionist regime against innocent Palestinians are the fundamental cause of tension and instability in the region. So far, Iran has prioritised mobilising the international community to halt these atrocities in the occupied Palestinian territories and to bring an end to the ongoing genocide swiftly. We maintain that all nations should utilise every available measure, be it legal or political, to deter further violence by the Zionists. In line with this belief, Iran has exerted its utmost efforts to foster peace and stability in the region.
