Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has urged the Muslim world to confront Saudi Arabia for trying to help legitimize the occupying power despite the ramp-up in the regime's campaign of atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza.
"The Majlis condemns the Zionist regime's martyring and injuring of the defenseless Palestinian people and calls on the authorities in Muslim and Arab countries and their parliaments to fulfill their Islamic and humane responsibility and stop this big scandal in the Arab world," Larijani told the open session of parliament on Sunday, ICANA reported.
Deadly clashes have been reported since March 30 between Israeli security forces and the Palestinians, when tens of thousands of Gaza residents began a six-week march to demand their right to return to the homes of their families in what is now called Israel.
