a palestinian referendum to determine the destiny of palestine and palestinians everywhere. that was iran's official proposal three years ago when even palestinians would have found it far fetched. but the us israeli genocide apparently in retaliation to operation al-aqsa flood of october 7th. "the world has been alerted to the long suffered plight of palestinians and to end the shelling of gaza and insecurity in israely occupied lands, the referendum can work as a blood-free solution to the palestine dispute that actually began in 1948. a referendum can't go down well with the early regime because it uses each and every opportunity to further occupy palestinian lans. it has not even heated to un resolutions against illegal settlements, but..." as far as international

concerns go, iran's proposal is a just and practical solution for peace. if the international community applies resolve rather than issue resolutions, it can hold israel to a reference. hello and welcome, you're watching iran today. in this episode we'll be diagnosing conflict resolution iran style. but why should the islamic republic of iran be so concerned about the palestinian issue? in other words, what is the significance for iran in the first place? ask this question from an iranian political analyst. saturnly.

the issue of palestine is not only important for the islamic republic of iran, but for all muslims, free people, and even for christians. their islamic, christian, and even jewish sanctities exist, they should be respected. regime we have seen clearly aims to dominate the region, destroy regional relations, and render the area un safe and unstable. undoubtedly, from this perspective, the islamic republic of iran has an islamic viewpoint on the palestine issue and is... other perspective is humane perspective. in my opinion, the islamic republic of iran pays more attention to the islamic viewpoint on palestine. ultimately, there was a nation called palestine and palestinians lived there. there are documents from israeli authorities that indicate palestinian origins and it's evident and documented that a land named pan existed, not israel. israel is fabricated name, but the palestinian issue.

aspects: human, national and religious. religion, of course, is a significant factor, the issue of the establishment of the is regime in the region, initiated by the victorious powers of world war ii, with them of exploding and plundering the region's wealth holds significance for the islamic republic of iran. fundamentally, the philosophy behind the regime's establishment is to confront any country opposing the interests of america in the region, opposing the interests of the colonial powers victorious in world war ii. hence from national perspective, the israely regime could pose a threat to iran's national security. thus, the issue of palestine can be

viewed from this angle as well. let's take a listen dite repatriation of refugees to their home countries. as you all know, it's now more than 45 years that iran has been hosting the most protracted refugee crisis in the world. turning my country. into the largest refugee hosting country worldwide, following the latest political turmoil in neighboring afghanistan in 2021. frequent unlawful military interventions and other interferences by outside powers in our vicinity have caused pandemic instability, insecurity and underdevelopment that intern have led to the influx of refugees across the region. in fact, the islamic republic of iran

has had to shoulder the burden inflicted upon the region as the result of irresponsible, coersive policies and and militancy of the united states and its allies in our region. our approach towards refugees is one of the most humanitarian and of human solidarity. the iranian people have generously shared their limited resources with huge afghan refugee populations, despite all the odds, much of which originate from the united states unlawful and inhuman. sanctions, we have tried our best based on our human centered national values and islamic precepts to provide refugees in iran with basic living standards, healthcare and education. all

afghan children of school age are eligible, equal to their... peers to attend primary and secondary school, regardless of their documentation status. right now, more than 700,00 refugee children are registered in public schools across the country. additional train courses and classes provided for afghan adults as part of literacy promotion movement to educate the drop out refugees. many afghans are studying in iranian. universities and colleges, including under available governmental supports and scholarships. tens of thousands of vulnerable afghan refugees enjoy healthcare insurance and free medical services are provided for persons with special and hard to cure illnesses. afghan

refugees also receive free anation against certain diseases including covid-19. mr. president, it is simply not fair nor is it feeble. a single country to host the largest and most protracted its own, the principle of burden and responsibility sharing requires a more equitable division of diverse costs of refugee hosting among a greater number of states. this is unfortunately not the case for my country, as we face ever increasing pressure on our limited national resources to help the inf. of afghan refugees, this is an unprecedented challenge as our public infrastructure in healthcare system, basic education, employment, energy and water sectors are under immense pressure due to the

huge number of refugees. while we appreciate the unhcr's commitment and efforts to help afghan refugees in iran, the realities on the ground. indicate that only 1% of costs incurred by huge population of more than 5 million refugees are covered by the unhcr's contribution try to come to a close please thank you very moment please. i should underline that iran's outstanding sacrifice in hosting the largest refugee population is unparalleled since my nation is at the same time under the most brutal economic sanctions by the united states, you unilateral measures, as unlawful and human as they are, have also badly limited the humanitarian space by having a huge impact aid agencies capacity to assist the people in need,

including the refugee populations resid in the targeted states. no man or woman of right conscience can afford to keep silent over the tragic humanitarian situation in gaza strip, whole occupied land of palestine. innocent people are indiscriminately slaughted and the residential buildings are bombed with the intent to forcibly move them out of their homeland. the israeli occupying regime is getting another influx of refugees to be added to the already more than 7 million palestinians. dear colleagues, a full scale new refugee crisis is unfolding before our eyes in most vicious manner, more than 20,000

innocent people, the majority of them small kids and women have been massacred during the past two months with the un security council being. made paralyzed by the united states to do any move to stop the israeli cruelty. the only way to avert this new refugee crisis is to stop the genocidal invasion of gaza, prevent the force. thank you for your attention, thank you minister, i would like to, well that's the global refugee forum, the venue which you saw, he said has been hosting the most protracted refugee crisis in the world and that this has turned into the largest refugee. hosting country uh and mainly that's in reference to the number of refugees that have come from afghanistan uh to put a long story short, i think uh the

fact that iran has hosted these afghans that have given them services not only in terms of their kids in terms of schooling but also the adults and schooling for them and also things like healthcare services like receiving free vaccines uh had was is summed up one of the stats he said which was that only one% of the costs incurred uh out of the 5 million refugees are covered by unhcr contribution at that the us sanctions and you can see where iran has point as iran's for minister hussein amir abdul has had indicated there and then at the end he talked about how there is a refugee crisis that's unfolding right in front of our eyes in reference to the us israel carnage and genocidal war in the gaza strip we'll give you more in our international news coming up for now it's goodbye let us make it clear from the beginning the us veto at the unc for immediate cease fire makes it complicit in the carnage in gaza. as bombs continue to rain down on palestinian civilians and cause wide spread destruction, the us has once

again used its power to block any attempt by the united nations security council demand sease fire in gaza. by vetoing this resolution, the us stands alone in casting its vote against humanity. once again, the unc has failed by refusing to genuinely commit to serious negotiations and by allowing a warmungering empire to stop any efforts at relieving palestinians from more suffering. crisis in gaza will only get. and runs the risk of extending, usv seesfire this week on the stream.

and hundreds of me have marched.

the voice of the voiceless. press tv. it speaks with me, the saint of the from the blood and the ashes. it speaks with me the sound of the rain from the battle and the victory victory victory victory.
