The Iranian parliament passed a law on countering Israel, which provides for the creation of a virtual embassy in Jerusalem.
Deputies during an open session of parliament on Monday agreed with all the provisions of the law on countering “hostile actions of the Zionist regime.”
Deputies, according to Iranian media, have ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to create a virtual embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. For this, the department is given six months from the moment of ratification of the law.
Also, the Iranian Foreign Ministry is required to organize a “referendum” in Palestine (in Iran they believe that it will help solve the problem of the region).
In addition, the provisions of the approved law imply a ban on the movement of Israeli goods through Iran, as well as a ban on the participation of Israeli-related companies in exhibitions. The parliamentarians obliged the government to help other states and peoples in the “liberation” of Jerusalem.
Palestinians, as part of the peace process with Israel, which is currently suspended, demand that the future borders between the two sovereign states go along the lines that existed before the Six Day War of 1967, with a possible exchange of territories. They hope to create their own state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem want to make it the capital. Israel refuses to return to the borders of 1967, much less to share Jerusalem with the Arabs, which has already declared its eternal and indivisible capital.
