Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has criticized the Arab League for a lack of intervention in Israel with regard to the Palestinian situation. He has urged the League to end its nonintervention and to make Palestine a top priority of the Muslim world.
His emphasis on Palestine began because of the recent clashes among Palestinians and Israelis in Jerusalem. On Friday, Israeli forces confronted Palestinian worshipers at a mosque. The worshippers were also protesting the recent debasing of the Qur'an by an Israeli soldier.
Amir Abdollahian also censured the League's suspension of Syria's membership at the Arab League. He called for a political solution to the Syrian crisis. He argued that there will be a rise in regional insecurity if the acts of terror against the Syrian people continue.
I wonder why Iran might be so interested in the affairs of the Arab World. What do you think?

ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. I wonder the same thing. Maybe it is economical ties? Or they are just trying to better their ties with the Arab League. I also wonder if this will spark any movement in the Arab League.
ReplyDeleteI think this is quite interesting especially with President Obama leaving for Israel as we speak. However, I don't know what exactly Iran's interest in the Arab World, I think it has more to do with regional economies and well, cultural strife against Israel's government. I am curious how the Palestinian "challenge" will reflect the role and power and usefulness of the Arab League
