On a statement, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the establishment of the Zionist regime
seventy-seven years ago, marked the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of modern times in the historical land of Palestine and the onset of a colonial plan for the eradication of the Palestinian nation—a plan that continues unabated to this day.
