Child-killing shows Zionist regime's fear of future: Iran deputy FM

Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani denounced the Zionist regime for killing Palestinian children, saying that child-killing has turned into a normal thing for the regime and shows its fear of the future. The official made the comment on Saturday in a meeting with Qatar’s Assistant Foreign Minister for Regional Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi in Tehran. Bagheri Kani said that the Zionist regime’s killing of Palestinian children indicates its great fear of the future because the regime has realized that new generations pose a key threat to the occupiers of Palestinian land. The Iranian diplomat said that Palestine remains the top issue of the Islamic world and called on Muslim governments to enhance support for the Palestinian people in all fields. The meeting took place a week after the three-day Israeli aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip where nearly 50 Palestinians were killed. At least 16 children were among those killed. The two officials discussed issues related to Tehran-Doha relations as well, with the Qatari official stressing the importance of deepening those ties. Follow us on Twitter @IrnaEnglish
