TEHRAN – Iran will soon host a “symbolic trial” for Israel’s war crimes which will pave the way for an official trial, Community for Supporting Palestinian People secretary general said on Sunday.

Iran is not the only country that intends to hold such trial and this movement has caused “consternation” in Israel, Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour told reporters in a press meeting in Tehran.
Iran's Chief Prosecutor Ayatollah Qorban-Ali Dori-Najafabadi will be in charge of the symbolic trial, he added.
He also said parliament speakers from 15 Muslim and non-Muslim countries have accepted Tehran’s invitation to attend a 2-day international conference in support of Gaza people which will begin on March 4.
Iran’s Majlis speaker Ali Larijani will chair the March conference.
The conference will condemn Tel Aviv’s war crimes and seek arrest of the Zionist criminals, Mohtashamipour added.
Parliamentary committees from 30 countries will also attend the conference, he added.
Members of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC), the Arab League, and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) have also been invited, he pointed out.
He stated that another purpose of the upcoming conference in Tehran is to collect evidence of Israel’s crimes from all parts of the world.
