Rouhani slams ‘occupation of Palestine’
The Iranian president turns to the Palestinian issue, without mentioning Israel by name.
He cites the “unacceptable repression of the Palestinian people.” There is “structural violence” against the Palestinian people, he says.
“Palestine is under occupation. Palestinians are denied the right of return, kept from returning to their homes and homeland.” There is “institutionalized aggression against the innocent Palestinian people.”
