Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi urged different nations to hold referenda to show everyone that their people greatly support Palestine and the rights of the Palestinian people, adding that Western powers are particularly terrified of organizing such a move.

The President's proposition came during a Saturday phone discussion with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, during which the two discussed a variety of matters, including Tehran-Tokyo ties and "Israel's" current war on Gaza.

Raisi called the Zionist regime's massacre in Gaza "the greatest humanitarian disaster in modern history" and emphasized the importance of establishing truths about the Palestinian situation.

He touched on the occupation's history of demolishing homes and killing Palestinians, as well as turning Gaza into an open-air prison in the last 75 years. 

Raisi expressed that world leaders should review this past to observe the actual sufferings of the Palestinian people.

He proposed that different countries, including Japan, should hold referenda in which they measure support for Palestine by their local populations, citing that Western nations are "very afraid" of holding such referenda.

Nevertheless, wide public support for Palestine and calls for a ceasefire have caused a global ripple effect that has been noticeable worldwide.

Raisi then criticized the US' role in "Israel's" war on Gaza, calling it the main perpetrator behind the Israeli "war machine" that terrorizes the defenseless people of Gaza while they are under siege.

He emphasized that the silence of world leaders only emboldened the Zionist child killers and urged that countries including Japan should seriously follow up on 4 major issues that will ease the suffering of Palestinians.

According to the Iranian President, these are halting Israeli strikes, sending relief to Gaza, lifting the siege, and upholding international law.

Kishida voiced worry about the humanitarian situation in Gaza and highlighted the significance of halting strikes on civilians, as well as delivering humanitarian supplies to Palestinians there.

Iran urges probe into Israeli intents to use chemical weapons in Gaza

Early this week, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was called on by Iran to investigate reports stating that "Israel" is preparing to deploy illegal chemical weapons against Gaza recently.

During the OPCW’s 28th session of the Conference of the States Parties, Deputy Iranian Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Reza Najafi said on Monday that reports showing "Israel's" preparation to use nerve agents in tunnels allegedly run by Palestinian Resistance in Gaza requires a probe.

Najafi recalled Israeli "Heritage" Minister Amihai Eliyahu's comments suggesting that a nuclear bomb against the civilian population in Gaza should be used - describing it as proof of the fact "Israel" possesses mass weapons of murder that potentially pose a major threat to peace and security in the region.

He additionally discusses other key issues such as chemical weapons use in Syria and victims of these weapons in Iran.
