Elder of Ziyon
Zarif noted that "enemies" have failed to divert the world's attention from the Palestinian issue. Presumably he means with such unimportant issues like Syria.
He complimented "Islamic resistance in Palestine" (i. e., terrorism) as uniting various Palestinian factions.
Zarif made headlines a couple of days ago with purported statements that the Nazi Holocaust against Jews was "tragically cruel and should not happen again." In a little reported followup, Iranian officials denied these statements.
The Islamic Jihad leader also met with Ali Larjani, chairman of the Parliament of Iran, who said "Fighting the Zionist entity is the only way to fulfill the rights and liberate Palestinian land."
