MOROCCO (IRNA) – Iran proposed on Wednesday the formation of a joint legal committee by members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to pursue legal actions against the Zionist regime’s latest carnage in the Gaza Strip.

The proposal was offered to the 8th ministerial meeting of the OIC member states information ministers held in Rabat, capital of this African state.
Iran was represented by a delegation headed by Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Mohammad-Hossein Saffar-Harandi.
Addressing the meeting, the Iranian minister called on the participating delegates to set up a committee for taking legal actions against the crimes committed by the Zionist regime during its 22-day savage attacks on the defenseless people of Gaza.
The attacks which started on December 27 left over 1,300 killed and around 5,000 injured mostly women and children.
Referring to the lack of proper coverage of the Zionist regime’s atrocities against Gazans by international media, Saffar-Harandi urged OIC members to prepare the grounds for further activity of the Islamic states media to echo developments occurring in the Muslim countries.
The minister said that the main confrontation between the West and Muslims is in the field of culture and media.
He urged OIC members to put further activation of their media sections on the agenda of their information ministries' works.
Experts of the OIC information ministries held a meeting in Rabat on January 26 focusing on major issues facing the Islamic world including the savage massacre by the Zionist regime in the Gaza Strip as well as the resumption of the activity of the International Islamic News Agency (IINA).
Iran’s delegation at the expert meeting grouped Managing Director of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) Jafar Behdad and a number of experts from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and Foreign Ministry as well as the Islamic Culture and Communications Organization.
