Israeli actions against Palestine increased given the cooperation with Arab

Tehran: Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh criticised ‘The cooperation established with the Arab countries is encouraging and giving strength to Israel to attack the Palestinians.’ Iranian media carried reports of a secret visit by the Israeli President to Saudi Arabia. The inference drawn by the Iranian foreign ministry following the reports becomes significant.

An encounter has been reported between the Israeli police and Palestinian protestors at the premises of the place of worship in Jerusalem. Some of the protestors were injured in the encounter. On Thursday night, Palestinian extremists attacked Israelis with knives and axes in the city of Tel Aviv. Three Israelis were killed and ten were injured in the attack. While speaking over these incidents in Israel, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Khatibzadeh held Arab countries responsible along with Israel for the attacks on the Palestinians.

Arab countries have established cooperation with Israel over the last year and a half. Khatibzadeh claimed that this is encouraging Israel to attack Palestinians. Khatibzadeh appealed that there is a need for all the Muslims of the world to unite to protect the interests of Palestine and Palestinians. Although the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman did not take names, the criticism was aimed at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain.

In 2020, UAE and Bahrain established ties with Israel. As per the Iranian media, this is not possible without the consent of Saudi Arabia, the leader of the Arab world. Whereas Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman also had announced that there was no enmity with Israel. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman had also indicated that if the Palestine issue is resolved, there is no issue in establishing cooperation with Israel.

But Iran is accusing Saudi Arabia is cooperating with Israel on various levels without announcing it. Israeli President Isaac Herzog recently paid a secret visit to Saudi Arabia and the Iranian media. The Iranian media claimed that the Israeli aircraft landed in Riyadh, the Saudi capital. Iran, restless with the developments, has reacted.
