"Unfortunately, the entire Middle East and even - it has affected the world – we are suffering from a new conflict in the Middle East, which is the rights of Palestinians," President of Iraq Abdullatif Jamal Rashid said in a joint press statement with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, APA reports.

"The Iraqi position on this issue is very clear. We fully support the rights of all Palestinians whether in West Bank, in Gaza or anywhere in the world. We hope that the Palestinians will achieve their full national rights and be recommended as a state for Palestinians soon.

Without solving this conflict, genuinely, I think the tension in the entire area will remain and the peace and stability will not be secured. So, our sympathy is with the Palestinian people and our support is for Palestinian people. Iraq’s position is very clear from the day and we have informed the international community about our position. We condemn the actions, which carried out in Gaza by killing and attacking civilians, plus the infrastructure, which is in Gaza with regard to schools, hospitals, and housing and population in Gaza. I hope this crisis will come to an end soon and Palestinian people will establish their rights in their own land," he noted.
