News - Middle East: Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says the alarm has been sounded for the occupying Israeli regime and its Western backers, enumerating key recent developments in support of the Palestinian cause. 

In a Twitter post on Friday, Nasser Kan’ani pointed to four key developments that have “raise an alarm” for the regime and those who back the occupation.

The two first factors, according to the spokesman, are the “internal political and security crisis and impasse inside Israel,” and the “extension of anti-occupation resistance from Gaza to West Bank and occupied territories of 1948.”

He also cited the “globalization of hatred against the Israeli regime, some aspects of which can be seen on the sidelines of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar,” as well as the adoption of a resolution at the UN General Assembly to introduce the day of establishment of the Israeli regime as the day of Nakba.

The United Nations General Assembly this week voted in a favor of a pro-Palestinian resolution to commemorate Nakba Day, which marks the Israeli regime’s claiming existence in 1948.  The Assembly adopted the resolution on Wednesday, with 90 votes in favor, 30 negative votes, and 47 abstentions.

Kana’ani said “futile” attempts of Israel and its allies to promote Iranophobia are aimed at providing “artificial respiration for dying Israel.”

“The focus of the apartheid Zionist regime and its supporters on Iranophobia is a desperate and futile attempt to distract the public from the issue of Palatine and provide artificial respiration for dying Israel,” he asserted, referring to the hybrid war waged by Western powers against Iran in recent months.

The Israeli regime’s efforts, with the support of the US, to normalize ties with more governments would not diminish the world's aversion for the Zionist regime and its illegitimate nature, Kan’ani stressed.

“The true winner of the World Cup is the Palestinian nation and its loser is the Zionist regime,” the spokesman added.
