<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that "we cannot speak of peace while ignoring Palestine". </p>
<p>He said that it “remains an open wound on the conscience of the international community, and Gaza remains a symbol of the failure of international mechanisms to prevent civilian suffering”.</p>
<p>Pezeshkian also defended the Palestinian resistance, calling it “human nature”.</p>
<p>“If a human being is driven from his or her land, they will resist. If their homes are subjected to bombings and aggression and attacks, they will resist; what other choice do they have?”, the president remarked.</p>
