AVA- In a post on his official Twitter account on Friday, Zarif added that no one has the right to cede Jerusalem al-Quds as the first Muslims' qibla (the direction toward which Muslims pray).
"A few Arab rulers believe that if they follow [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu, they'll be able to achieve their illusions," he said.
The top Iranian diplomat; however, emphasized that the Israeli premier "has failed to protect Zionist regime, despite his Iron Dome, so how can he protect THEM?"
Also on Wednesday, Zarif said that the occupied city of Jerusalem al-Quds belongs to Palestine and the Palestinian nation, stressing that neither the United States nor the Zionist regime can make decisions about it.
“Al-Quds (Jerusalem) is neither America's to give away nor Israel's to take. And NOT for brutal accomplices to try to buy. Quds belongs to Palestine & Palestinians: history shows that whomever ignores this is condemned to ignominious failure,” he said in a post published on his Twitter page.
