In a telephone conversation with Pope Francis on Sunday evening, President Ebrahim Raeisi described the horrific and unprecedented crimes of the Zionist usurping regime in martyring nearly 10,000 people, including 4,000 children and 2,500 women, as the biggest genocide of the century.

Raeisi went on to say that supporting the oppressed people of Palestine today is in accordance with the teachings of all Abrahamic religions, including Christianity, and appreciated the position adopted by Pope on the necessity of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. He further asked him to use its status to pressure the Western countries for a cessation of the Israeli regime's crimes.
