Press TV- Palestine's freedom from the clutches of Israeli occupation remains the Islamic world's highestpriority,Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman says.
Bahram Qassemi made the remarks early on Friday, a day after Bahrain's Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Al Khalifah tried to downplay as a side issue US President Donald Trump's decision torecognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel's capital.
"It is regrettableto see an Arab and Islamic country calla seven-decade-old scar on the Islamic world's wounded body a 'side issue' and so fatuously fail to realize the simplest of world affairs, thusembarrassing itself and its people... with such mean and baseless statements," he wrote in astatement.
"Despite allcomplex plots, manufactured crises and fictitious threats propagated by the US-Zionism axis,Palestine still is and will remain the Islamic world's number one priority until it is liberated, and no one...can distract Muslimsfrom this serious issue," he added.
The American head of state said Washington would withdraw US aid to countries that were going to vote against the move.
The threat, however, failed to push back an overwhelming majority of the world body's members as 128 countries voted to adopt a resolution that calls on Trump to rescind the decision.
