On Thursday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian called for greater unity among Islamic countries in support of the Palestinian cause .

Raisi's invitation came during a phone call with the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani , during which the two leaders also discussed bilateral and regional issues.

Raisi condemned the recent "crimes" committed by Israel against Palestinian worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, pointing to the need for greater "solidarity and coordination" among Islamic countries to prevent Israelis from committing such acts.

The Iranian President stressed that strengthening relations with neighboring countries is a priority in Iran's foreign policy, explaining that ensuring development in the region depends on dialogue, interaction and cooperation between the countries of the region.

For his part, the Emir of Qatar stressed his country's "steadfast" position in supporting the "oppressed" Palestinian people and condemning the Israeli "aggression" on it.

In another phone conversation that took place on Thursday also between Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi, Amir Abdollahian stressed the need for unity of the Muslim world to confront Israel and protect the rights of the Palestinian people.

Amir Abdullahian praised Jordan's support for the Palestinians and the holy sites in Jerusalem, saying that Israel is the "biggest threat" to the region and the Muslim world.

The two ministers also expressed their willingness to expand the scope of bilateral relations.

Earlier this month, the Israeli forces launched attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound for two consecutive days, during which they fired tear gas and sound bombs to disperse the Palestinian worshipers.

Those attacks drew condemnation from countries in the Middle East, and at the same time resulted in an escalation of conflict along the Israeli border.
