    Khatibzadeh: Iran hails this right and wise decision of the African Union.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry commented Monday on the African summit's decision taken in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Sunday to suspend a decision granting "Israel" an observer status for the African Union.

In a press conference, Khatibzadeh said the African Union's decision proved the oppressive entity's attempts at normalizing its relations have been futile, adding that "Iran hails this right and wise decision by the African Union and supports the members who acted responsibly toward any action carried out by this racist entity," adding that "the Palestinian cause is an invulnerable cause that is supported by all-freedom seekers in the world."

He considered this decision "a clear message to all those who miscalculated the normalization of their relations with the fake and oppressive entity," adding that "this Zionist entity uses every opportunity to expand in the region, aiming to destabilize security and stability there."

Syria welcomes the AU decision

Syria welcomed on Monday the AU's decision to suspend "Israel" as an observer in the union.

AU suspends decision to grant observer status to "Israel"

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported yesterday that the African Union has suspended the decision to grant "Israel" observer status. 

The decision, which was adopted unanimously by the Summit of the African Union's Head of State and Government, suspended the AU's Former Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat's 22 July decision to grant "Israel" observer status in the AU and establish a committee comprised of seven African heads of state to present recommendations to the summit, under whose jurisdiction the case will remain.

The African Union had granted "Israel" observer status in July after a unilateral decision from the former AU chairperson, and the Israeli ambassador in Addis Ababa presented his letter of accreditation as an observer to the African Union.
