TEHRAN (FNA)- Representative of the Jewish minority at the Iranian Parliament Siamak Marreh Sedq said that the statement by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) for holding a referendum in the Palestinian territories proved that Iran is opposed to military intervention in the regional states.

"By offering a solution to the Palestinian problem through holding a referendum, the Leader of the Revolution proved it to the world that Iran is in no way after military solutions to resolve problems in the Middle-East," Marreh Sedq told FNA on Saturday.
"He showed to the world that all the behaviors of the Islamic Republic of Iran are within the framework of populism, peace and the monotheistic values," he added.

His remarks came after Ayatollah Khamenei on Thursday asked participants in the 16th NAM summit in Tehran to pay special attention to the Palestinian issue, and called on the American backers of the Israeli regime to accept Iran's proposal for a referendum in the Palestinian lands to determine the country's fate.

The Leader reminded the Zionists' bloody occupation of Palestine over 6 decades ago, and blamed the Zionist regime for waging various wars, massacre and state-sponsored terrorism in the last decades.

He blamed the western world for supporting and defending the Zionist regime of Israel against the oppressed Palestinian nation.

The leader further renewed Iran's solution to the Palestinian issue, calling for a "comprehensive referendum to be attended by all the indigenous residents of Palestine, including those refugees who have been away from their motherland for decades to determine the country's fate".

The Iranian supreme leader cautioned the US against the continue support and defense for the Zionist regime of Israel, reminding that decade-long support for the Israeli regime has incurred many costs and losses on the American people.

The leader called on the White House leaders to revise their Middle-East policy and "show courage and opt for the referendum solution" presented by Iran to put an end to the astronomical spending that has been inflicted on the American nation for its support for the Zionist regime of Israel.
