Iran has welcomed the final statement of the Arab League summit which called for the defense of the people of Palestine and the condemnation of the war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza. 

In a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, Iran stressed the importance of unity among more Islamic nations to put an end to the crimes "Israel" has been relentlessly committing in the Gaza Strip.

However, the Islamic Republic denounced a column corresponding to the Gulf trio islands, saying they were an integral part of the country's territory.

Iran: Ministry of Foreign Affairs: We welcome the paragraphs of the final statement in defense of the oppressed Palestinian people and condemnation of war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

The 33rd Arab League summit was held on Thursday in Manama, Bahrain, and was attended by 22 member states. 

The summit's statement included a proposition to deploy international peacekeeping forces in Palestine until the so-called two-state solution is established, while simultaneously condemning the Israeli control of the Rafah crossing. 

UN spokesman Farhan Haq said that the deployment of peacekeeping missions depends on Security Council mandates and conditions on the ground. He further stressed the need for acceptance by involved parties and proper conditions for UN presence.

"Creating peacekeeping missions depends on a variety of things. One of them… is a mandate from the Security Council," Haq said. "Then of course, there need to be conditions on the ground including acceptance by the parties of a UN presence, and that too is something that would need to be established."

The summit further called for convening an international peace conference that would establish Palestine's right to an independent state.
