World parliamentary bodies urged to seriously react to Zionist regime

Tehran, Nov 12, IRNA – Speaker of Parliament (Majlis) Ali Larijani in a message on Wednesdayurged world parliamentary bodies to seriously react to the recent savage attacks of the Zionist regime against al-Quds. The Al-Aqsa complex in al-Quds which represents the world's third holiest site for Muslims, was stormed last week by a group of Jewish settlers and Zionist security forces.

He added continuation of Jews migration into the occupied lands as well as continuous construction of new Jewish townships along with simultaneous reconstruction of old ones and tightening siege of the Gaza Strip have all indicated blatant violation of every international regulations and UN resolutions about human rights by Tel Aviv authorities.
