TEHRAN – The members of the Asian People’s Solidarity for Palestine convoy met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran on Monday.

The members of the aid convoy began their journey to the besieged territory of Gaza in India, travelled through Pakistan, and then arrived in Sistan-Baluchestan Province in southern Iran on Wednesday. After travelling through Kerman, Yazd, Isfahan, and Qom, they arrived in Tehran Province on Monday. They will continue their journey through Zanjan and Tabriz and then cross into Turkey.
Ahmadinejad said the Islamic Republic, along with other countries, will always make efforts to help Palestinians, including the besieged Gazans, attain their freedom and rid themselves of the Zionist regime.
He stated that the most important problem of the modern world is the existence of the Zionist regime.
The Zionist regime was established in order to help the hegemonistic powers’ efforts to dominate the entire world, he observed.
Crimes like humiliating people, conducting terrorist acts, selling people into slavery, and depriving people of their basic rights, which have been committed in the world throughout history, are now committed almost every day in Palestine, he stated.
He went on to say that the Zionists are neither Jewish, nor Christian, nor Muslim, but rather, they are unbelievers who also do not care about basic human values.
The Zionists are pursuing only one mission and that is to destroy the culture of other nations, Ahmadinejad noted.
Today, everybody knows that Palestine is not a conflict between Arabs and Jews or between Muslims and Jews, but rather, it is a global issue that should be solved globally, he said.
