Iran: Israeli expansionsim result of Trump's shameful deal of century

"The Zionist regime’s recent moves to expand settlements and annex parts of the West Bank to the 1948 occupied territories are in breach of international law," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi, adding the expansionism has been encouraged by the "Trump's shameful deal of the century."

Mousavi warned that the Israeli expansionist projects endanger peace and security in the region, calling on the United Nations and other world bodies to act against the regime's moves in the occupied territories.

Referring to Israel’s taking advantage of the novel coronavirus pandemic to expand its settlement construction activities, Mousavi said, "The oppressed people of Palestine are fighting viruses such as occupation, siege and sanctions at the same time as the coronavirus."

Mousavi said the international community should not allow the Palestinian people to be displaced once again.

He reiterated that the only solution to the Palestinian crisis is to hold a referendum among the main inhabitants of the land and to establish an independent Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital.
